Texas Dawg Slobber - Silver Moon Ale
By John Patterson (76177,137)
Lampasas, Texas
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INGREDIENTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 gallons water
2 4lb cans Yellow Dog Amber Malt Extract
3/4 lb Crystal malt (uncrushed) to 170 degrees
3/4 lb Chocolate malt (uncrushed) to 170 degrees
1/4 lb Black Patent malt (uncrushed) to 170 degrees
2 cups unsulphured molasses (I used "Grandma's" brand)
1 1/2 oz Kent Goldings hops (60 min)
1/2 oz Kent Goldings hops (when heat off)
WYeast #1028 "London" Ale liquid yeast
3/4 cup corn sugar for priming
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I boil all 5 gallons. To compensate for loss due to evaporation, I boiled
the wort in 2 gallons of water in one pot, and boiled 4 gallons of clear
water in a separate brewpot.
Place all malts (whole) in a cheesecloth grain bag.
Place the grain in 2 gallons of water in a brewpot and apply heat. When the
temp. of the water reaches 170 degrees, remove grains and discard.
Remove the pot from heat and dissolve both cans of malt and the molasses in
the brewpot, stirring constantly. Return pot to burner, add 1 1/2 oz Kent
Goldings hop pellets, and boil for 60 minutes
At the end of the boil, remove pot from heat and add 1/2 oz Kent Goldings
hops. Once the wort has cooled a little, add it and enough of the boiled
water to make 5 gallons of wort, to your primary fermenter, I used a glass
carboy. The use of a wort chiller is encouraged.
Once the wort has cooled to 70 to 75 degrees, pitch yeast.
After 3 days the wort calmed down enough to rack it to a secondary fermenter
(again, a glass carboy) and allowed to ferment further. Fermentation
completely halted after a total of 8 days (5 days in the secondary).
Bottle or keg as you normally do.
After 1 week of bottle conditioning, the ale was drinkable and had a nice
head.

STYLE DESCRIPTION AND TASTING NOTES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a brew for you malt lovers.
The ale is medium bodied and a pretty dark copper in color with low hop
bitterness and medium maltiness. The molasses gives the brew a residual
sweetness. I even noticed very slight licorice undertones in the brew.
After bottle conditioning, the ale will have medium effervescence, with low
head retention but with nice lace. The taste is sweet and refreshing with
a hop/malt balance leaning towards the malt side. The hop nose is low. Also,
a good mouth feel and flavor, with a nice finish and aftertaste.
