Notes: Spruce Tip Pale Ale
Batch Size: 5 gallons (19L)
Anticipated OG: 1.055
Anticipated FG: 1.012
Anticipated ABV: ~5.6%
IBU: ~40
SRM: ~5
Grains
10 lbs (4.54 kg) 2-Row Pale Malt
1 lb (0.45 kg) Vienna Malt
0.5 lbs (0.23 kg) Caramel/Crystal Malt (20L)
Hops
1.0 oz (28 g) Centennial (60 minutes) - For bittering
0.5 oz (14 g) Cascade (15 minutes) - For flavor
0.5 oz (14 g) Cascade (5 minutes) - For aroma
Spruce
4-8 oz (113-227 g) Fresh Spruce Tips (Boil - 15 minutes)
Note: The amount of spruce tips can be adjusted to your preference. Start with 4 oz for a subtle spruce character and increase to 8 oz for a more prominent flavor. Use new growth tips from spring, as they are less resinous and have a more pleasant flavor.
Yeast
1 packet Safale US-05 or similar American Ale yeast (Fermentis)
Water & Mash
Mash in: Target a mash temperature of 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes.
Mash out: Raise temperature to 170°F (77°C) and hold for 10 minutes.
Sparge: Sparge with 170°F (77°C) water until you collect your desired pre-boil volume (approximately 6.5 gallons).
Brew Day Instructions
Preparation: Sanitize all of your equipment.
Mash: Heat your mash water to the target temperature and add your crushed grains. Stir well to ensure there are no dough balls. Hold at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes.
Mash Out: Raise the mash temperature to 170°F (77°C) and hold for 10 minutes. This will stop the enzymatic activity.
Lauter and Sparge: Begin draining the wort from the mash tun into the boil kettle. Gently sparge with 170°F (77°C) water until you collect approximately 6.5 gallons.
Boil: Bring the wort to a vigorous boil.
Hop & Spruce Additions:
60 minutes: Add 1.0 oz Centennial hops.
15 minutes: Add 4-8 oz fresh spruce tips and 0.5 oz Cascade hops.
5 minutes: Add 0.5 oz Cascade hops.
Cooling: After a total boil time of 60 minutes, turn off the heat and cool the wort rapidly to yeast pitching temperature (68°F / 20°C).
Fermentation: Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter. Aerate the wort well and pitch your yeast.
Fermentation Temperature: Ferment at 68°F (20°C) for approximately 7-10 days, or until fermentation is complete (the gravity reading is stable for two days).
Packaging: Once fermentation is complete, bottle or keg the beer. If bottling, use a priming sugar calculator to determine the correct amount of sugar for your desired carbonation level. |

Notes: Shooting for a malty amber ale with mild hop influence.
Using a really old bag of Laaglander Amber DME, purchased in 2002. Has been sitting in a closet ever since, giving it a try for the hell of it.
<update> Sampling at bottling time and pondering the use of Fuggles in low quantities led to decision to relabel as a Scottish Ale rather than an amber. |
