1881
This is a really good copy of Boags 1881 ale that they made a limited run from a recipe from about 1881 as the name suggests. An Amber Ale style of beer with a nice hop aroma and sweeter crystal malt flavour designed to be drank not quite as cool as fridge temp but left to sit on the bench for 5-10 minutes before getting into it, by doing this you get the flavour without the sharp bitterness that real cold ale style beer tend to get, but don't worry, a bit of time sitting won't make it sickly warm and un drinkable.
1 can of Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale
1Kg of Light Dried Malt
10g Willamette Hop Pellets
Kit Yeast
Follow the T.H.B.S. instructions. Approximately 2 days before bottling put the Willamette hops into a hop boiling bag and put the boiling bag into a coffee mug and cover with boiling water for about 10 minutes, strain the liquid into another mug, gently squeezing the boiling bag. the liquid can then be added to the fermenter and left for 2 days and bottled in the normal fashion. the reason for doing things this way are if you put the aroma hops in at the start you will loose a lot more of the aroma than if you put them in as late as possible. leave to mature for at least 2-3 months (longer for a better result).
Approx. F.G. 1015 & 5% Alcohol.
