Morrissey Fox - Blonde Ale - Extract version?

Post by Waffty » Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:43 am

Hi,

Picked this up off their web site & was wondering, what an extract only edition would look like ?

4,080g Golden Promise malt
260g Light crystal malt
39g Styrian Golding Hops
32g Fuggles Hops
10g Irish Moss
15g Cascade Hops
1 packet fast acting yeast

Method:Add 23 litres of water heated to 77°C to the mash tun. Allow the temperature to drop to 72°C and add both malts. Stir to form a thick porridge. Maintain temperature between 62°C and 69°C for 1½ hours.

Strain wort (the liquid) into a large pan very slowly. If the liquid is not clear, return to the mash tun and repeat until a clear wort is produced. Using a watering can, spray the leftover malt with water heated to 77°C. Continue to do this until a reading of 1005 is reached on the hydrometer.

Top up the boiler to the desired level and heat to a rolling boil. Add the Styrian, Golding and Fuggles hops and the Irish moss. Boil vigorously for 1 hour. Add the Cascade hops and boil for a further 15 mins. Cool very quickly andntransfer the liquid only to the fermenting vessel.

Add the dissolved yeast, cover and place in a cool (22°C) room for two days. Carefully siphon off the clear liquid into another fermenting vessel, leaving behind any flotsam and jetsam. Ferment for a further three or four days with an airtight lid. Siphon off the clear BEER and enjoy


Thanks Darren.
