LFD's Light Honey Ale

5 gallons

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.
