Notes: Ref: Wiki Beer in Wales, an approximation of 14th Century Wales Ale.
Grains limited to 8lbs in a 4g boiling pot.
Don't 'squeeze' the grain bag to avoid sharp flavors; this is a more "bread-y style" from the historical transition from mead(honey) to agriculture(grains). Add all grains in 3g water at 160f, wrap in blanket for 1-2hrs, stirring every 20mins or so...iodine test for "doneness".
Liquid extract in the last 10 minutes of boil to keep SRM lighter.
Primary fermentation just 5 days at 60F (wrapped in a blanket)
Rack to secondary (5 gallon bucket with sealed lid*) to lightly carbonate in this "cask".
* Lid modified with a pick-up tube and valve such that Ale can be lightly carbonated and pressurized in the plastic 5g bucket for DIRECT serving. Yeast will re-pressurize the "cask" (if you don't drain too much of it in one serving). Siphoning to a Growler is also good to have in the 'fridge. A syringe can be used to "fluff" the head of the Ale in a glass (this was popularized with Guinness Stout for a time) Allegedly, Guiness has some history in Wales.....wiki
Forgive the Carapils; it provides longer lasting 'head' to compensate for the low, natural cask carbonation level.
The "Brown" gains are to achieve the Minimum SRM, since color is often darker than estimated when I brew....

Notes: This turned out fantastic, color darkened for me to a light amber because I boil for 90 minutes but came out with nice a sweet on the tongue and mild malt after, lite and refreshing for a nice October fall day
note: this will need to age at least 2 months to drop all the solids and loose hops down to the bottom and leave a good clean beer |

Notes: Prepare a 1 liter starter.
Consider a bit of gypsum to provide a bit of crisp, flinty finish. Gordon recommends 1 tsp of Calcium Chloride in the mash and 1/2 tsp of Gypsum in the boil. My additions are noted in 'Other'.
Pitch yeast at 67, ferment at 68. Then let temp rise to 70 toward end of fermentation to avoid diacetyl.
Carbonate to just under 2 volumes Co2. Serve closer to cellar temperature. (about 55F)
