1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 pounds Mountmellick Brown Ale Kit
(Hopped)
1 pounds Light DME
1 pounds Honey
½ pounds Crystal Malt
4 pounds Sliced Winesap Apples
(from Purdue Hort.
Farms---hence, the name
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 cup Cinnamon Imperials (Red
Hots)
10 grams Burton salts
1 teaspoon Irish Moss
1 pack Brewer's Choice London Ale
Yeast (#1028)
⅔ cup Dextrose to prime

Directions

Bring 3 gallons water to boil and put in brew bucket to cool. Bring 1½ gallons water and crystal malt to boil. Remove grain. Add extract, honey, burton salts, and irish moss and boil for 15 minutes. Add red hot candies. Turn heat to low after candies melt. Add apples and cinnamon and steep 15 minutes. Dump into brew bucket, then transfer to primary. (I made malted applesauce out of the apples by the way!) This ale is a nice light beer with little bitterness. You can't really taste the red hots too much, but the are definitely in the aroma. My husband had his doubts about this since the only hops were whatever was in the extract, but he was pleasantly surprised. The red hot candies make a very nice addition to the brew. I think they might be good in some other styles, too.
