Annie’s Three Paths Pale Ale

You can use the same malt bill for an English bitter or a Belgian pale ale. For the bitter or Belgian ale, use 0.5 ox EKG at second dry hop. Use Wyeast 1388 ?Belgian yeast or White Labs WLP007 for English ale.

Mash at 152°F (67°C) for 45 minutes, then raise to 168°F (76°C). Boil for 75 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. After the boil, chill the wort to 66°F (19°C), split evenly into three fermentors, and pitch a different yeast into each portion. Aerate well. Ferment at 66–68°F (19–20°C) for 5 days, then add the first dry hop to the American pale ale. Ferment for 5 more days, or until fermentation is complete, then add the second dry hops. After a few more days or once gravity is stable, remove the hops or rack, crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.5 volumes (American), 3 volumes (Belgian), and 2 volumes (British).
