Ingredients

Directions

  1. Crack the crystal and black patent malt grains for better extraction.
  2. Add the cracked grains to 3 gallons of cold water in a large brew kettle.
  3. Heat the mixture slowly and bring it to a gentle boil.
  4. Strain out the grain solids from the liquid wort once boiling begins.
  5. Add the malt syrup, Fuggles boiling hops, and split chipotle peppers to the strained wort.
  6. Maintain a steady boil for 45 to 60 minutes.
  7. Add the finishing hops (Fuggles or Cascade) during the final 5 to 10 minutes of boiling.
  8. Remove from heat and sparge the grains with hot water, collecting the runoff in the fermenter.
  9. Add enough cold water to reach the target volume and allow the wort to cool to yeast pitching temperature.
  10. Pitch the ale yeast into the cooled wort and seal the fermenter.
  11. Allow the beer to ferment for approximately 2 weeks at room temperature.
  12. Dissolve corn sugar in a small amount of water and add to the bottling bucket with the fermented beer.
  13. Bottle the beer and allow it to condition for at least two weeks before drinking.
