Notes
Mash the Amber Malt in 1 gallon of water at 158 degrees for 30 minutes, then pour through a grain bag into your main brew kettle and continue as you would a normal extract recipe.
Vary the type of speciality malt used and hop variety if you wish. Honey Malt (which is unavailable in the UK) would be recommended, along with Amarillo Gold hops.
Low bitterness and single hop variety with high honey content make this a light, golden, but rich summer ale. When boiling priming sugar, steep in some ingredients for extra flavour - I use Golden Syrup instead of sugar for sweetness, add a very small amount of ginger for a warm glow, and a small amount of elderflower for a sweet, aromatic nose.
