Long Island Winter Warmer
Beer Style: old ale, winter warmer, pale ale
Recipe Type: all-grain
Description:
My best batch of the winter, highly recommended.
I drank the last bottle on June 6 (brewed Jan. 25). It was still in great shape: spicy on the nose and `creamy' and full-bodied in the mouth.
Try this mild ale malt stuff....it's really good!
Ingredients:
* 7 pounds, mild ale malt
* 3 pounds, US 6-row malt
* 2 ounces, Cascade (leaf) - boil 75 min.
* 1 ounce, Cascade (leaf) - boil 30 min.
* 1/2 ounce, Cascade (leaf) - boil 15 min.
* 1/2 ounce, Cascade (leaf) - steep for 15 min. after the boil
* 1/2 ounce, Cascade (leaf) - dry hop in the secondary
* ale yeast
OG: 1.057 FG: 1.020
Procedure:
The Cascade hops were fresh and very aromatic, from the fall '91 harvest. Alpha acid was about 5%; alas I didn't write it down. I used Edme yeast, although I doubt if I would ever again usedried yeast on a beer like this (or any beer?). Fortunately, I got no infections.
