Full moon ale

54 Servings

Quantity Ingredient
6 pounds Dark Australian DME
1 pounds Caramel crystal malt
1½ ounce Willamette hops
1½ ounce Fuggles hops
1 \N Pack
¾ cup Corn sugar (priming)
\N \N Wyeast #1098: British Ale

Boil 2 gallons of water and turn off heat. Add crystal malt and steep about 15 minutes. Strain through muslin into kettle. Heat another gallon of water to 170 degrees. Pour through grain into pot. Heat to boiling and add DME and ⅓ of hops. After 45 minutes add another ⅓ of hops. Turn off heat after 15 minutes and add last ⅓ of hops. Steep. Cool wort and add 2 gallons of cold water. Pour in wort and pitch yeast. Rack to secondary after 4 days top off with enough water to make 5 gallons. After 4 weeks, prime and bottle. I thought that the final gravity of this beer was a bit high, but the beer came out tasting great and no bottles exploded. In order to call this a porter it needs more hops, therefore I think it is a Scotch ale. Original Gravity: 1.055 Final Gravity: 1.017 Primary Ferment: 4 days Secondary Ferment: 4 weeks Recipe By : David Haberman
