I'm hoping to make a really big beer, coming up around 10% alcohol, but without the spices and associated flavors from that.  I'll probably go with more different kinds of malt and hops, but still want to stick with around 8oz hops and the 4 basic ingredients in beer.  Ok, I'll probably add a clarifier too.

Redhead Ale w/grains

Ingredients:

Trying again, I'm going to start with the basic RedHead recipe and try adding some fresh malt to give it better color and refine the flavor a bit more. Same as last time, which I screwed up by shocking it after bottling.

  • 1 can (3.3 lbs) light liquid malt extract
  • 1 can (3.3 lbs) amber liquid malt extract
  • 1/2 lbs Cara Red malt
  • 2 oz black patent malt
  • 1 tube White Labs Dry English Ale yeast
  • 1 oz fuggle hops pellets
  • 1 oz soverign hops pellets
  • 1 tsp irish moss
  • 5 oz. priming sugar

Brought ~1 gallon of water to 160F, removed from heat, added grains and soaked for 45 minutes. Brought ~2 gallons of water to a boil, removed from heat, added LME and wort from the soaked grains. Returned to heat, brought to 180F, added soverign hops and started a 1 hour timer. At 30 minutes, added the irish moss. At 15 minutes remaining added the fuggle hops pellets. Cooled in a sink of water to ~100F. Poured into primary and added cold water to bring volume up to 5 gallons. Pitched at 86F. -Morrigu 18:44, 6 September 2010 (EST)
