4 lbs Pale malt extract
1 lb honey
12 oz Molasses
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 oz Perle 60 min
1 oz Fuggles 10 min
safbrew s-33
lots of ky windage (primarily because I heard this ain't rocket science)
this is my first real attempt. no recipe. the kind lady at the home brew store recommended two alterations to my original recipe:
add honey
use perle for bittering and fuggles to finish. i had intended to finish w perle but i can't tell you why i made that decision.
i boiled the whole batch at once and toppped off with about a half-gallon of water. SG was about 1.055ish before adding the water.
i ran a gravity calculator against it and came up with:
Boil gravity: 1.051
Og: 1.046
SRM: 11
And calculated an IBU of 36.4
the yeast is supposed to survive 11% i'm just hoping for something big and chewy.
