54 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
9 pounds Pale Malt
¾ pounds Crystal Malt
½ pounds Carapils Malt
1½ ounce (4.9%) Kent Goldings (60
Minutes)
1½ ounce (4.9%) Kent Goldings (15
Minutes)
¼ ounce Kent Goldings (dry)
1 teaspoon Irish Moss (15 Minutes)
2 teaspoons Gypsum
2 ounces Oak Chips
Wyeast 1059 American Ale

Directions

Mash pale malt at 153 F for 30-60 minutes. Test after 30 minutes. Add Crystal and Carapils and mash-out at 168 F for 10 minutes. Sparge. Bring to boil. In a saucepan, boil the oak for no more than 10 minutes, then strain the liquid into your boiling kettle. Boil the wort, adding boil- ing hops after 30 minutes and the flavor hops and Irish Moss after 75 minutes.

Chill and pitch a quart of 1059 starter. Dry hop in the secondary fermenter. The beer will clear in the bottle. I've fallen head over heels in love with 1059 American Ale Yeast. I find it gives wonderful pear and rasberry aromatics, and if I have a carboy filled to the shoulder, I *don't* need a blow-off tube. It gives a very gentle fermentation with a relatively short thick kraeusen. Worts in the 1.050's take 5-6 days. I get the same type of fermentations at 60 F or 72 F. It does take this yeast a little while to clear. I find it clears faster in the bottle than in the secondary, so I only use a secondary for a few days as my "dry hop tun".
