Notes: A traditional English Pale Ale from 100% Maris Otter malt, East Kent Golding hops and London ale yeast.

According to the EBCU style guides...

"English pale ale
The earliest mention of the term Pale Ale comes from an English newspaper, in 1704. By the 19th century, Pale Ale was a beer of regular strength (4.5-6.0% ABV) that could appear bottled or on draught. 21st century examples tend to be 4.0-5.0% ABV). Classically, the style showcased English hops in a beer mashed from 100% pale ale malt. Its flavour by repute was clean and assertive, grassy but perfectly balanced, lacking the cruder hop kick of the English version of its fêted sibling, IPA...."

This simple recipe is very similar to "1864 Lovibond XB" described in Ron Patterson's book "The Home Brewer's Guide to Vintage Beer". It's interesting that the recipes for 19th century pale ales collected in Ron's book do still have quite a strong "hop kick".

Notes: - Brewed on 11/10/18
- Heated strike water to 164F, doughed in and quickly settled at 153F mash temp
- Expecting mash efficiency of 76% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.053. Took many samples inside which ranged from 12.7 to 13.1 (but hit 13.1 multiple times).
- Added brewing salts and lactic acid to the strike water prior to doughing-in
- Initial PH was X.X vs. 5.41 expected. PH meter still not calibrated correctly. So assuming expected mash PH was reached.
- Put honey into brew kettle at 130-140 degrees. Expecting honey to add ~4 gravity points so 1.057 then expecting boil to reduce down to 1.074 original gravity. Used 1 pound instead of 1.5 because I thought I was at 1.055 before honey addition instead of 1.053 expected and the 1 pound still added 4 points so 1.059. Turns out was only at 1.053 so prolly added 3 points getting me to 1.056.
- Ginger goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Cinnamon goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Original gravity was 16.2 plato which converts to 1.066. 10.75 gallons was left in the kettle after boil. 10.5 made it into fermenters. Expected the boil off to contribute more points. Something with the numbers when wrong and not sure where. Took multiple readings for OG and it consistently was ~16 plato. **Figured it out. Boil off and gravity point contributions vary depending on wort volumes. I based my assumptions off 5 gallon batches for this 10 gallon batch. Should have targeted a higher pre boil gravity (~1.064 to try and hit 1.074 original gravity).
- Packaged on 11/25. FG was 1.014 at 69F, which converts to 1.015 which implies 75% attenuation (which is what I expected) vs. 69% avg attenuation for the yeast.
- This beer scored a 39.5 and finished second in its category in the Square Kegs Winterbrew 2019 competition.

Notes: For 10 gallons: 4 lbs clover honey and 20 saffron threads added to end of the boil. 2 qt of white muscat grape juice added after active fermantation (3 or 4 days). Let ferment another 5 to 7 days and then rack to secondary. Let condition for 12 to 14 days.

Based on the Midas Touch clone recipe in the book "Extreme Brewing" by Sam Calagione.

Notes: Drinking this now (3/30/14). Although there is a definite malt presence and pronounced hop bitterness in the beer, it is not balanced. My hope is that it will mellow with a little time. But that's been my hope with a brown ale that seems to be a little too sweet and it has not improved with a considerable amount of time. This was my last brew before receiving a Ward Labs report. I made significant alterations to my brewing water - primarily by blending it with 60% RO water - and am very interested to see how it affects the next beer. It is my Mystic Mama clone attempt split into two different fermenters with two different yeasts.
4/14/14 - dumped this beer due to infection. Also dumped the brown ale just because I was tired of trying to enjoy it.
