Source Notes:: December 2019, Vol. 25, No. 8 page 66. Boulevard Pale Ale is an old-school pale ale with a variety of caramel and high-kilned malts, and a blend of hops that add a zesty aroma. Pale Ale was Boulevard's first beer and continues to be a perennial favorite.
Notes:: This recipe uses reverse osmosis (RO) water. Adjust all brewing water to a pH of 5.5 using phosphoric acid. Add 1 tsp. calcium chloride to the mash. Mash the malts at 154F for 60 minutes. Start recirculating wort. Raise the temperature to 168F for 15 minutes. Sparge slowly and collect 6.5 gallons of wort. Heat to boiling, and boil the wort for 90 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Adjust OG post-boil with RO water as required. Chill the wort to 62-64F, pitch the yeast, and ferment until complete. Cool to 32-34F and cold condition for four days. Rack the beer, prime and bottle condition, or keg and force carbonate.
