Beer Style: English Old Ale/Strong Ale
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
Adapted from 'Old Soldier Ale' from the 'Old Ales' article in the September 2004 BYO magazine / website. There were equivalent malts for the mash, and the grain bill was not adjusted. This recipe is fairly straight forward. The SRM is about half of the original recipe. The Chocolate Millet Malt could be increased to add more color, but too much could change the flavor profile.
Ingredients:
- 12 LBS Pale Millet Malt; or 16.8 LBS Pale Rice Malt (hulled and/or naked varieties); or any combination of the two
- 2 LBS Munich Millet Malt
- 0.5 LB Crystal Millet Malt or 0.7 LB Crystal Rice Malt
- 2 OZ Chocolate Millet Malt
- 2.95 OZ Willamette Hops
- SafAle S-04 Yeast
