- 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:
- Heat 6.5 gallons of water in your kettle while steeping crushed grains for 20 minutes. Once a temperature of 180F is reached turn off the heat. Add the malt extract and stir thoroughly to dissolve completely. Turn the heat back on and bring to a boil. Boil the wort 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.
