Recipe Type Extract
Fermentables
2 cans Munton & Fison Light Malt Extract
2 lbs Munton & Fison light dried malt extract
.25 lbs Domino light brown sugar
Hops
3--1/2 oz Fuggles hops
.5 oz Fuggles for finishing
Yeast 2 packs Munton & Fison ale yeast
Procedure We did a single stage fermentation, so I can't answer your question
about how long to age in secondary. We gave the finishing hops 10 minutes. As
far as conditioning in bottles---well, it's been 14 months now and it keeps getting
better. At 2 months it was OK, but cloudy enough that we thought we should
have used gypsum. It was also VERY sweet, but also very hoppy and quite
smooth. By 9 months it was clear, but quite heavy and we thought maybe less
sugar. Last week it had gotten considerably drier and VERY clear. It's really good
now, so I don't know if it'll last long enough for me to give you an update later.
