Why Brewers Love It

  • A Proper All-Grain Brew: A satisfying recipe for brewers who enjoy getting stuck into the full mash-to-glass experience.
  • Classic American Style: A clean, crisp ale inspired by traditional American Cream Ales.
  • Gentle Noble Hop Character: Hallertau Traditional hops provide soft bitterness & delicate floral notes without overpowering the malt.
  • Smooth Malt Character: Pale Ale Malt provides a light, balanced base, while Carabelge contributes subtle sweetness and colour.
  • Clean & Crisp Finish: The addition of dextrose creates a smooth, refreshing finish that lets the delicate malt and noble hop character shine.

Ingredients

  • 400g Carabelge Malt
  • 400g Dextrose
  • 28g Hallertau Traditional Hops
  • 2 x Mangrove Jack's M44 US West Coast Yeast

Method

  1. Add malts to 17L of water at 65°C & mash in thoroughly.
  2. Rest the mash for 60 minutes.
  3. Raise the mash temperature to 76°C and hold to mash out.
  4. Recirculate the wort for 15–20 minutes.
  5. Sparge with 12L of water at 80°C.
  6. Boil for 75 minutes.
  7. Add 10g of Hallertau Traditional hops with 60 minutes left in the boil.
  8. Add remaining 18g of Hallertau Traditional hops and 400g of dextrose with 5 minutes left in the boil.
  9. At the end of the boil, whirlpool by stirring or recirculating the wort for 20 minutes.
  10. Cool the wort and transfer to a clean, sanitised fermenter. Pitch both packets of Mangrove Jack's M44 US West Coast Yeast and ferment at 18–23°C for approximately 7–10 days, or until the specific gravity has remained stable.
  11. Bottle or keg as usual.

Sometimes the simplest-looking beers are the ones that quietly show off great brewing.
