Notes

An English-style "session" ale, low in bitterness, lighter in color, but big on flavor. Usually served on-draft in England, it is a beer with a slight roast flavor from the chocolate malt. Lower in alcohol than most ales, thereby allowing you and your guests to quaff several pints in a tasting "session". It is best consumed within 2-8 weeks in the bottle, but will age nicely over the course of 3 months.

=====================================================

  • Add all steeping grains to steeping bag and steep as per your
    preferred steeping method. Generally, 150-160 F for 30
    minutes.
  • Remove grains, (Sparge with 8 oz. of water170*F water) bring
    back to boil then turn off heat, and add extract. Once extract is
    amply mixed, bring back to a boil.
  • Once water comes to a boil, add bittering hops and start the 60
    min clock.

  • After flame out cool wort to 75-80 F, transfer to fermenter &
    add cool water to bring total volume to 4.2 gals. ( the addition
    of cool/cold water should bring Temp down to pitching Temp
    (68* F)

  • After Fermentation.... let sit on trub for 3-5 days then bottle.
  • Add 1 Sugar Fizz Drop per 12 oz bottle when bottling.
  • Condition in bottle for 3-4 weeks, timing is somewhat flexiable.
