Source Notes:: July-August 2019, Vol. 25, No.4 page 35. An example beer from the period interpreted in the spirit of the times, rather than attempting to make a direct reproduction of any particular brewer's beer. The Amber DME is made with some crystal malt, which probably would not have been used in the 1880's, but I wanted to keep this recipe simple and to avoid doing a partial mash with amber grain malt. If you wish to, you can partial mash with 2 lbs. of the Maris Otter pale ale malt, eliminating the amber extract and using 6 lbs. of the liquid extract.
Notes:: Dissolve the malt extracts in 6 gallons of hot water while off heat. Once malt extract is fully dissolved, bring wort to a boil. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the Challenger hops at the start. Cool to 70 F and pitch the yeast. Ferment 7 days at about 65 F, then rack to secondary for a further 5-7 days before racking to keg or bottling.
