Ingredients
Grains
6 lbs Maris Otter 82.7%
8 oz Brown malt 7%
8 oz Victory malt 7%
4 oz Pale chocolate malt 3.3%
Hops
1 oz Fuggles @ 60 min AA 4.3%
Other
.5 tab Whirlfloc at 10 min
Beer Profile
Est Original Gravity: 1.038 SG
Measured Original Gravity: 1.038 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.012 SG Measured Final Gravity: 1.010 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 3.3% Actual Alcohol by Vol: 3.6 %
Bitterness: 16 IBU
I use the BIAB method and mashed this at 153F for 90 minutes. I also used a half tab of Whirlfloc at 10 min left in the boil and added gelatin after chilling in the keg.
This mild won 1st place in the English beer category at the 2014 Fermentationland Homebrew Competition in Central Maine. It was one of my first entries in a competition.
This beer comes out nice and clear with a moderate brown/ruby color. The best characteristics are the nutty finish and the fact that you can easily drink down a few pints as a session ale.
