Double Ale
This is one of my first recipes that I designed and actually wrote down. The term double is more for the number of pounds of grain or equivalent per gallon of water. For example, 2 pounds of grain per gallon of water = double. It’s a pretty simple recipe and was hopped up. If you wish to tone down the hops, then cut the boil time by 1/2.
Ingredients:
3 1/2 lbs Amber Malt Extract 8 oz Crystal Malt Grain
4 oz Pale Malt Grain 4 oz Oat Grain
1 oz Cascade Hops 1 oz Fuggle Hops
1/2 Teaspoon Irish Moss
1 packet Muntons Ale Yeast
3/8 cup Corn Sugar (priming)
Date Brewed: March 21, 2001 Original Gravity: 1.049 Pitching Temp: About 100 degrees Primary Fermentation: 1 week at 64 degrees Procedures:
1. Steep Grains for 1/2 hour
2. Strain grains and add to brew pot along with 1 gallon water
3. Add Malt Extract and allow to boil
4. When wort begins to boil, add 1/2 of the Hops and boil for 1 hour
5. After 1 hour, remove hops and add the other 1/2 of hops, boil for 1/2 hour
6. Last 15 minutes of boil, add Irish Moss Notes: Cascade hops 7.3%, IBU’s around 60, more of an IPA.
