Wet hop flavor and aroma is not super pronounced but is there in a unique way. Probably try to up the wet hop additions next year. Flaked barley doesn't do much for head retention. It's hard to tell what it contributes to flavor. Beer has a nice malt character; not sure if that's just due to the MO or if the flaked barley contributes. |

Notes: Use 2 packets of yeast. Rehydrate if you wish. Have done both and didnt get any difference. If you have carafa special 2 then use that instaed of dark choc. I ran out so when with dark choc. Primary 7 to 10 days then rack 7 days then lager 2deg celcius for 7 days. Carb up and enjoy.
Boil for 90 mins this will reduce DMS in the beer. |

Notes: Mild is a style on the brink of extinction in England, but its popularity is slowly growing with a subset of amateur brewers who desire a beer with lots of rich flavors and a low level of alcohol. The majority of the flavor and aroma in mild comes from the yeast and the malts. Mild has very little in the way of hop flavor or aroma, and hop bitterness should be just enough to balance the bulk of the malt sweetness. It is most often dark in color, from copper to very dark brown, but there are pale versions, too. The pale version focuses on the biscuity, toasty malt notes, while darker milds may have caramel, chocolate, coffee, licorice, raisin, and other flavors. I have even come across a mild in England with a firm tobacco note, which was actually a pleasant part of the overall beer. There is such a huge range of flavors in mild that it allows for a great deal of creativity. Being a low-gravity, low-alcohol beer, brewing a great example requires enough dextrins and other residual sugars to keep it from seeming thin. Using a relatively high percentage of specialty malts and a good base of English pale ale malt helps create a nice, broad malt backbone and plenty of malt character. Keep the hops simple, with just a bittering addition. Ferment with an English yeast that provides character but attenuates lower to help keep the beer from seeming thin. Also, serve it warmer and with restrained carbonation. The warmer serving temperature allows the character to come out, and the restrained carbonation prevents that harsh biting feel when a low-gravity beer has
too much carbon dioxide.
Use 5 grams of properly rehydrated dry yeast, 1 liquid yeast package, or make an appropriate starter. Ferment at 68° F (20° C). When finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 1 to 1.5 volumes and serve at 52 to 55° F (11 to 13° C). |

Notes: This was fantastic as-brewed, really hit its prime around 6 weeks post brewday.
When I make it next time, I may mash just a degree or two higher. The 34/70 brings it down to a delicious crispness, but wouldn't hurt to have a bit more mouthfeel. |

Notes: Strike water was at 156.3, mash came out to 152.7, probably due to colder temp of grain that was mashed outdoors (-5C outside today).
Used large tea ball for FWH addition - hung off the rim, it sits just below the surface of the wort. All of the hops slipped out of the tea ball into the wort - oops!
Much higher efficiency than expected - planned for 1.020 OG, ended up with 1.030. Might be a result of the barley addition to the mash? Or maybe my system is just that much more efficient than James' is. |
