Malt Ingredients

Hops

Yeast

Adjuncts

Water

Preparation

Mashing

1. Mash the Grains

In a large mash tun, heat 3 gallons of filtered water to 160°F (71°C). Add the crushed Pale Malt, Roasted Barley, Chocolate Malt, and Crystal Malt. Stir well to ensure all grains are saturated.

2. Maintain Temperature

Keep the mash temperature around 150-155°F (65-68°C) for 60 minutes. Stir occasionally to maintain an even temperature.

3. Sparge

After the mash is complete, sparge the grains with an additional 2 gallons of water heated to 170°F (77°C) to collect the wort in the brew kettle.

Boiling

4. Boil the Wort

Bring the collected wort to a boil. Once boiling, add the East Kent Goldings hops and boil for 60 minutes.

5. Add Lactose

With 15 minutes remaining in the boil, add the lactose to the kettle, stirring to dissolve completely.

Cooling and Fermentation

6. Cool the Wort

After the boil, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches 70°F (21°C).

7. Transfer to Fermenter

Transfer the cooled wort into a sanitized fermentation vessel, leaving behind any sediment from the kettle.

8. Pitch Yeast

Sprinkle the Irish Ale yeast onto the wort and seal the fermentation vessel with an airlock.

9. Ferment

Allow the beer to ferment at 68-72°F (20-22°C) for 1-2 weeks, or until fermentation is complete.

Bottling

10. Prepare for Bottling

Once fermentation is complete, dissolve 3 oz of priming sugar in 2 cups of boiling water. Allow it to cool.

11. Bottle the Beer

Add the priming sugar solution to the fermentation vessel and gently mix. Then, bottle the beer, leaving about 1 inch of headspace in each bottle.

12. Cap and Condition

Cap the bottles and store them at room temperature for 1-2 weeks to carbonate.
