Beer Style: English Old Ale/Strong Ale 
Recipe Type: partial mash
Yield: 5 gallons

Description:

Adapted from 'Old Oddity' from the 'Old Ales' article in the September 2004 BYO magazine / website. The pale malt LME was substituted with sorghum syrup; the DME was substituted with corn sugar / dextrose; and the liquid London Ale yeast was substituted with SafAle S-04 dry yeast. There were equivalent malts for the mash / steep, but the grain bill was increased by 25%. Otherwise this recipe is fairly straight forward. The SRM is about half of the original recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 6.6 LBS Sorghum Syrup
  • 1 LB Corn Sugar / Dextrose
  • 1.25 LBS Crystal Millet Malt or 1.75 LBS Crystal Rice Malt
  • 0.3 LB Chocolate Millet Malt
  • 2 OZ Fuggle Hops
  • SafAle S-04 Yeast

Additional Instructions

Primary Ferment: 7 days
Secondary Ferment: 7 days
