Extract - Marmadillo Amber ale
Recipe Type: Extract Yeast: Safale US-05 Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5 Original Gravity: 1.061 Final Gravity: 1.017 IBU: 34 Boiling Time (Minutes): 60 Color: 14 Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7 Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 11 Tasting Notes: Really nice smooth slightly sweet amber with a hint of raisin
Marmadillo Amber ale
Canadian honey malt 0.50 lb, Steeped 160 f 30 mins
UK Crystal 64L 1.00 lb, Steeped 160 f 30 mins
Crystal 120L 0.50 lb, Steeped 160 f 30 mins
Light D.M.E. 3.00 lb.
3 gallon boil - hops were:
Centennial 1.00 oz, Pellet, 60 minutes
Mt. Hood 0.50 oz, Pellet, 30 minutes
Willamette 0.50 oz, Pellet, 10 minutes
added:
Light malt extract 4.0 lb. at flameout
Honey 0.5 lb. at flameout
I dry hopped with 1/2 oz each Willamette and Mt. Hood 11 days.
This went in the fermenter a bit hot (I as in a slight rush!) maybe 75 f or so. As a result the beer tasted not so good after 2 weeks bottle conditioning but after 5 weeks the beer turned out just great! A nice change from my normally very hopped ales. I am definitely brewing this again - probably all grain next time. |
