[size=+1]Notes[/size]
Prepare 9.3 gallons of tap water night before the brewing session, and let it sit overnight in a pot. Toast 3,31 lb of pale ale malt in the oven @ 350 F for 10 minutes.

Two liters of first runnings taken in a separate pot and boiled separately until it caramelized (2 liters should evaporate to 1 liter). This caramelized wort is added to the main wort after the last hop addition, just before cooling.

Primary fermentation 14 days at 67 F°

Secondary fermentation - 14 days at 67F°.

now, to all those who claimed on the forum that caramelizing technique isn't gonna bring any caramel taste, but just more body, I have to say that it's completely untrue! I have clean caramel - toffee beautiful and distinctive flavor. My girlfriend tried the sample without knowing what she is trying and she said "toffee!" :) Beer color is exactly what you see in the glass on the top of the recipe, though it's still quite muddy and I expect it to be clear in the next couple of days. if not, I'll use some gelatin prior to bottling.

Hop combo is, as you see, english. First gold leaves a nice earthy aftertaste, combined with herbal flavors. It's a really good partner with caramel, balancing everything out.

Wow! This is fun to make, and quite tasty too.

I was sure I bottled more than 6, and where did all of these empties come from??
Guess I'm brewing this one again!
