(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.056 FG = 1.012 IBU = 45 SRM = 8 ABV = 5.9%
Ingredients
11 lbs. (5 kg) Golden Promise™ pale ale malt
0.75 lb. (0.34 kg) Bairds Carastan malt (35 °L)
12 AAU Target hops (90 min.) (1.5 oz./43 g at 8% alpha acids)

Wyeast 1098 (British Ale) or White Labs WLP007 (Dry English Ale) or Lallemand Nottingham yeast
2⁄3 cup corn sugar (if priming)
Step by Step
Mash grains with hot water (1.2 qts./lb.) at 149–151 °F (65–66.1 °C) for 1 hour. Run off and sparge to collect about 6 gallons (23 L) of wort. Bring to a boil and add the bittering hops, boil 90 minutes. Cool to 65–70 °F (18–21 °C) and pitch the yeast, preferably prepared previously as a 1-qt. (1-L) starter. Ferment 5 days, rack to secondary and add the dry hops in a sanitized weighted muslin bag. After 1–2 weeks, rack to keg or bottle and prime or carbonate in the usual way.

(5 gallons/19 L, extract with grains)
OG = 1.056 FG = 1.012 IBU = 45 SRM = 8 ABV = 5.9%
Ingredients
7 lbs. (3.2 kg) Maris Otter liquid malt extract
0.6 lb. (0.27 kg) pale dried malt extract
0.75 lb. (0.34 kg) Bairds Carastan malt (35 °L)
12 AAU Target hops (90 min.) (1.5 oz./43 g at 8% alpha acids)
1 oz. (28 g) UK Fuggles (dry hop)
1 oz. (28 g) UK Goldings hops (dry hop)
Wyeast 1098 (British Ale) or White Labs WLP007 (Dry English Ale) or Lallemand Nottingham yeast
2⁄3 cup corn sugar (if priming)
Step by Step
Place grains in a muslin bag and steep for 15–20 minutes in 2 qts. (2 L) hot water at about 150 °F (65 °C). Run off into boiler and rinse grains with 2 qts. (2 L) of hot water, and carefully dissolve extract in this liquor. The recipe is for a full 5-gallon (19-L) boil; if you use a smaller volume increase the bittering hops proportionately. Boil 60 minutes, cool to 65–70 °F (18–21 °C), and pitch with yeast, preferably prepared previously as a 1-qt. (1-L) starter. Ferment 5 days, rack to secondary and add the dry hops in a sanitized weighted muslin bag. After 1–2 weeks, rack to keg or bottle and prime or carbonate in the usual way.
