Notes

Resembles London Pride ale

Recreation of a famous family ale recipe as passed among English steam engineers during the war. The steam engineers had access to unlimited water and heat and could build their own vessels. The wort was fermented in a large lidded “pot” near a chimney in the steel mill . Giving it the name, Chimney Ale.

The traditional version uses Maris Otter LME, corn cob boil water and whole willamette hops. These are hard to find where I am.

1/2 canning pot of water
Bring to boil
Corn and cobs in boiling hard for an hour or so
Can used flaked corn with bag.
-Reduce boil to 20 minutes
Whisk in Malt at 15 minutes left
Stir to prevent boiling over
-spoon off any floating corn
Fill pot to top. Bring to boil, simmer
Lid on
Whole hops :in at 30min 15min 0min
Pellet hops bag: bag in at 30min , hops 15mins, pull bag 0min.
Heat off.
Lid on.
No chill . Lid on for x hours or overnight.
...
Till blood warm

No opening
-The sterile, warm wort is vulnerable to
-contamination, But it is quite safe
-with the lid on.
-Work fast and clean when pouring
Fill fermenter
-Do not pour in sediment
Pitch yeast, lid on fermenter.
Fill pot to dilute sediment
-As needed to top up fermenter
Stir well
Bring to boil
Lid on
Heat off
No chill
-Clean work as before
Top up fermenter
-Do not pour in sediment
