Cooking Ingredients for Honey Basil Ale Recipe
2-1/2 lb Barley malt
1/2 lb Wheat malt
1/2 lb 40L Crystal malt
2 lb Honey
1 lb Dried malt extract (pale)
2-1/4 oz Mt. Hood hops (3.3%,
Bittering)
1/2 oz Cascade hops (5.9%)
1 oz Basil leaves
Whitbred dry yeast
Honey Basil Ale Preparation
I did my partial mash, then boiled the wort with the honey and DME and the Mt Hood for 70 min. I then turned the heat off, added the Cascade and Basil, and covered and let sit for 30 min. The basil I added may be a lot; it was about 1/3-1/2 of the bunch I bought at the grocery store. I talked to the brewmaster at the pub where I had the original Honey Basil and he said they used four bunches in 800 gallons. So we”ll see. Now it is fermenting, and is a pretty murky brown color. I didn”t think that much 40L Crystal would make it this dark; much darker than I wanted. We”ll see what happens when it is done-looks like I”ll need to add the gelatin this time (I”ve had good luck with this in the past). I”ll let you know what it tastes like. And I hope the hops are light enough to let the basil and honey through. I think I have a pretty heavy hand with hops usually. Recipe By : Serving Size: From: Big Flavors Of The Hot Sun By Chr
