A good, fairly strong, winter warmer this one. Started out intending this one to be an ESB, but overshot on efficiency and produced a British strong ale to good effect. VERY warming as it goes down, so needs at least 6 weeks conditioning after bottling to calm down the alcohol burn from the golden syrup.
Please DO adjust the grain bill with more pale malt if you expect lower efficiency. Use your choice of a good British style yeast, preferably one that produces nice fruit esthers.
Based on 80% Brewhouse efficiency:-
23 Litre batch size. OG: 1.067. FG 1.009-1.010. Colour 33 EBC. IBUs 46.8 Tinseth.
90 Minute mash (24.4 Litres BIAB, cold dunk sparged with a further 6.6 litres) @ 67 degrees C, mash out at 76 degrees for 15 minutes, 90 minute boil.
Mash
5000g pale malt (4.2 EBC).
300g Crystal malt (150 EBC)
100g Chocolate malt (1183.5 EBC)
200g Oat hustks (0 EBC)
250g Torrefied wheat (3.9 EBC)
Boil
@ 90 minutes - 80g EKG whole hops 5.9% AA
@ 5 minutes - 300g Lyle's Golden Syrup
@0 minutes- 10g Endeavour whole hops 9.8% AA
7.6g EKG whole hops 5.9% AA
5.0g Fuggles whole hops 4.5% AA
If you use water treatments, aim for a brown balance profile.
