Source Notes:
September 2019, Vol. 25, No. 4 page 57. This recipe is a homebrew version using multiple grains to mimic the sugar flavors. It can be scaled up or down for a 60/- or 80/-. Just remember to color it a bit darker if making it as a 60/-.
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 Golden Promise and flaked barley at 158 F for 60 minutes. Start recirculating wort. Add the darker malt and raise the temperature to 168 F for 15 minutes. Sparge slowly and collect 6.5 gallons of wort. Boil the wort for 90 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Chill the wort to 59 F, pitch the yeast, and ferment until complete. Rack the beer, prime and bottle condition, or keg and force carbonate.
