GOLDEN ALE  

This simple recipe is a golden version of the Irish Red with slightly less bitterness. The addition of the Goldings hops will give the mellow flavour without adding too much harsh bitterness.

1 can Coopers Draught

1kg Light Dried Malt

300g Golden Syrup

25g Goldings Hop Pellets

250g Dried Malt Additive

Kit Yeast

Dissolve the can contents, malt and golden syrup in the fermenter.  To make life easier with the dried malt additive, put it in a jug, pour boiling water over it and stir to dissolve it.  If you use water that isn't boiling it will clump into a big ball that will be next to impossible to dissolve.  Add to the fermenter.  Ferment as per the T.H.B.S. instructions. Two days before bottling steep the hop pellets in 200ml of hot water for 15 mins.  Strain into the fermenter.  Allow to stand for 2 days then bottle as normal.  Leave to mature for 3-6 months for a good result (if you can't wait that long try 4 weeks, but 3-6 months will be much better).

Approx. F.G. 1020 & 6% Alcohol.
