Strong Ale Recipe

Here is a fun recipe that I found at Brewery.Org.

Ingredients:

• 1# British/English 2-row
• 1# 37-64L crystal
• 8# Alexanders Pale DMS (or equivalent)
• 2/3 cup chocolate malt
• 1/3 cup blackstrap molasses (mmmm)
• 1/2# clover honey (optional)
• 2 oz Kent Golding (60 minute boil)
• 2 oz Fuggles (15 minutes)
• 1 oz Hallertau - 5 minutes (aroma)
• 1 oz Hallertau - steep for 3 minutes with heat off (aroma)
• Gypsum as needed
• Irish moss at final 15 minute
• WYeast London Ale yeast or Williams Brewing Triple Ale liquid yeast pack

Procedure:

Mash grains at 148-158 degrees for 1 hour. Also works well with simple "steep in water until just before water boils method." I do a "quickie" sparge with about a gallon of 170 degree water ("quickie" meaning slowly pouring gallon of 170 deg. water over grain bag in a strainer - Sshhh, I think I heard an all-grainer gulp..:^). Bring to boil, add the extract and molasses (and honey if desired) and ....you know the rest.

For a partial mash, this beer is simple and yielding. All variations have worked wonderfully (ie, with honey and without; with 8# Alexanders pale ale DMS; with 6# Williams Brewing pale DMS + 3# pale DME..etc.)
