| LFD's Light Honey Ale |
| by Jim Dorsch |
| |
| |
(5 gallons)
"This light-flavored ale is adapted from a Charlie Papazian recipe. It has a pleasant honey flavor that satisfies a homebrewer but isn't too challenging to the non-enthusiast. It's a bit high in alcohol - about 7 percent by volume - so treat it with respect. LFD are my wife's initials. She likes this recipe!"
Ingredients:
2 tsp. gypsum
4 lbs. light dry malt extract
3 lbs. orange blossom honey
4 oz. Cascade hops (5.8% alpha)
Liquid ale yeast
3/4 cup dextrose
Step by Step:
Boil extract, honey, water crystals and 2 oz. Cascade hops in 1 gallon of water for 50
minutes. Add 1 oz. Cascade and boil 10 minutes more. Add 1 oz. Cascade hops after heat is cut off. Cool wort, bring to 5 gallons, and pitch yeast. Follow your typical fermentation procedure, priming with dextrose before bottling.
Variations:
Use dark extract for a light-bodied dark beer. Try a different type of honey. Substitute hop
varieties - perhaps Fuggles for first two additions and Goldings for dry hop.

Question of the Week
Everything I read says that the gravity of wort will increase during the boil as a result of the water evaporating and the wort concentrating. But I have never seen this happen with my brewing. What's up?
