- 45 BJCP score in American Ales 10C
I was shocked to win this one with such a huge score but here she is:
6 lbs Amber Dry Extract (Munton)
0.75 lbs Carafoam
0.25 lbs Chocolate Malt
1 oz Dark Brown Sugar
1.00 oz Williamette (4.7%)
1.00 oz Fuggles (4.3%)
1 packet Safale US-05
30m steep Carafoam and Chocolate Malt @ 155degF. 60m boil DME and brown sugar with Williamette Hops. 5m aroma boil Fuggles. Pitch 1 packet Safale US-05 with no rehydration (just sprinkled on wort). Leave in primary for 31 days. Bottle with 3/4c corn sugar for 2 weeks.
One important note: I tossed the extract in with the wort at 160degF still on the burner. I definitely got a touch of burned extract on the bottom that managed to mix in as the boil got vigorous. Perhaps it added enough 'character' to really push my beer over the edge. I won't be doing that again, but I may add some caramalized Amber DME to the wort the next time I brew this recipe.
