I've been doing 10 gallon batches, so it takes a while to get through that.<br /><br />How about an English Old Ale? They're good for winter time, kind of like Deschutes Jubel ale. Here's a 5 gallon all-grain recipe:<br /><br />12lbs pale malt<br />2 lbs Munich malt<br />1 lb 55l crystal malt<br />0.5 lb 120l crystal malt<br />0.5 lb chocolate malt<br />1 oz chinook hops (bittering)<br />2 oz goldings (flavor)<br />1 oz fuggles (aroma)<br /><br />I used a 90 minute boil to help caramelize the malt a bit.seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852843310791256281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378352953691107089.post-1598663668042454722010-12-03T10:11:37.358-08:002010-12-03T10:11:37.358-08:00I brew in 2.25 to 2.5 gallon batches.

A bit too much alcohol notes on it currently.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524970260874550186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378352953691107089.post-51827527521863477012010-12-03T10:05:08.341-08:002010-12-03T10:05:08.341-08:00I've been enjoying the "Imperial Brown Al...I've been enjoying the "Imperial Brown Ale" I made about a month ago. Basically do 1.5 times the malt and double the hops of this recipe (you can probably use your software to convert the all-grain recipe to extract):<br /><br />http://subrew.blogspot.com/2008/12/monday-beer-update.html<br /><br />And throw in two pounds of dark brown sugar too. Not sure what size your boil pot is, but if you're not doing a full volume boil (7+ gallons) it'd be a bit sticky, so don't burn it :)<br /><br />Ended up about 7.3% alcohol, and ridiculously drinkable.<br /><br />Irish moss is awesome, I use it in every batch.seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852843310791256281noreply@blogger.com
