Bronze Medal Winner, 2005 Great American Beer Festival. “Recipe converted from historic recipe dated from the year 1800. Bittering calculations were off the charts, so we used the same number of pounds of hops, but moved much of the addition to the later part of the boil. Original recipe called for 1 bittering addition. Very earthy, nutty malt character with a tremendous hops flavor!” -Town Hall Head Brewer Mike Hoops
Town Hall 1800 Historic English IPA
Extract kit from Northern Homebrewer, Milwaukee, WI
Target OG: 1.078
Malt 1: 9.45 lbs. Gold Malt LME (60 min)
Adjunct 1: 1 lbs Clear Candy Sugar (60 min)
Adjunct 2: 1 tsp Irish Moss (15 min)
Hop 1: 4 oz East Kent (60 min)
Hop 2: 3 oz East Kent (15 min)
Hop 3: 7 oz Fuggle (15 min)
Yeast: Wyeast 1098 British Ale Yeast (64°-75°F)
Boiling Schedule:
Collected 2.5 gallons of water. Bring to a boil. Remove water from heat and mix Malt and candy sugar. Add 6 drops of Fermcap to reduce boil foam. Bring water back to a boil. Add Hop 1 @ 60 minutes. Add hop 2 and hop 3 addition at 15 minutes. Add Irish Moss with 15 minutes left in the boil.
Notes:
Used a 48 hour starter. Used a brew belt. Primary temps were around 68. I’ll leave in the primary for about 3-4 weeks and then begin taking daily hydrometer readings – when hydrometer readings are the same on consecutive days, primary fermentation is complete. I’ll leave in secondary for about 2 months. Bottle with 6 oz of corn sugar. Bottle condition for up to 2 weeks. I plan on aging this one a long time.
My actual OG was 1.060. Missed my target big time and don’t know why. Only guess is that a lot of wort was retained/lost when I pulled and disposed of the hops in the muslin sack. I pitched @ 65° and fermented @ 66-68°. Crazy amount of hops additions… 14 oz! Stunk up the house real nice
