It’s Just A Starter (6-Day Mild Ale)

5 gallon/19 L, all-grain; OG = 1.036; FG = 1.007; IBU = 24; SRM = 31; ABV = 3.6%

Ingredients:

  • 4.66 lbs. (2.11 kg) 2-row pale malt
  • 0.97 lbs. (0.44 kg) crystal malt (55 °L)
  • 0.40 lbs. (0.18 kg) chocolate malt
  • 1.17 lbs. (0.53 kg) flaked corn
  • 0.25 lbs. (0.11 kg) crystal malt (150 °L)
  • 6.2 AAU Fuggles hops (60 mins) (1.55 oz./44 g of 4% alpha acid)
  • Wyeast 1968 (London ESB) or White Labs WLP002 (English Ale) yeast
  • 0.66 cups corn sugar (for priming)

Step by Step:

Mash at 152 °F (67 °C) for 45 minutes with 1.33 quarts of water per pound of grain — 2.48 gallons (9.4 L) overall. Sparge with 168° F (75 °C) water until you collect 6.5 gallons (25 L) of wort. Boil the wort for 60 minutes. Chill to primary fermentation temperature and pitch your yeast. After 6 days, you can rack the beer out of your carboy and into a keg. Force carbonate to about 2 volumes of CO2 and enjoy.
