Draft Beer Recipe

During the past week, I have been working on a bottling experiment. For the experiment, I designed a simple American Amber Ale recipe using dry malt extract and speciality grains. I will have more about the experiment in a future post.

Makes 3 gallons

Ingredients:

5 ounces Crystal Malt 40
4 ounces Cara-Pils Malt
1 ounce Chocolate Malt
3.5 pounds Light Dry Malt Extract
1 ounce Galena hops
1 packet dry yeast
Irish Moss

Procedure:

Crush grains and steep for 1 hour. Strain and pour into brew pot. Add the dry malt extract and bring the wort to a boil. Add 1/2 ounce of Galena hops. Boil for 60 minutes and at the 40 minute mark add Irish moss. Add 1/2 ounce Galena hops to your primary fermenter. Chill wort and pour into fermenter. Pitch yeast and allow to ferment for 3 to 7 days. Bottle and enjoy.
