| Ingredients for 5 gallons:
3.3lbs Muntons hopped light malt extract
3lbs Muntons plain light dried malt extract
Wyeast #1272 American II Ale yeast
1/4lb crystal malt medium
1/2 oz Willamette hops (boiling)
1/2 oz Saaz (flavor)
2 tablespoons of gypsum (if your water is soft)
3/4 cup priming sugar
O.G. 1.040
F.G. 1.010
Add Crystal malt to 2 gallons of cold water and bring to boil. Remove
Crystal malt when boiling begins. When water comes to a boil, add;
malt extract, dried malt extract, willamette hops (in cheese cloth
bag prefferable) and gypsum. Let boil from 35 - 45 minutes. With
approx. 5-10 minutes left in the boil add the Saaz hops in cheese
cloth bag. After the wort has cooled add to a 5 gallon carboy
containing 3 gallons of water. Make sure you top it off to the 5
gallon mark. Check the temperature of the wort and pitch the yeast
when it is a approx. room temperature. The beer will take about 3
weeks to ferment.
I have been homebrewing for around five years and this just might be
the best beer I have ever made! It has a light character with a deep
golden color. The Wyeast 1272 gives it a subtle fruiter quality.
