Beer Style: Northern German Altbier  (7A)
Recipe Type: partial mash
Yield: 5 US gallons

Northern German Altbier

Description:

In my opinion there aren't enough Alt recipes around. Here is my take on a classic german ale. This recipe produces a slightly darker than amber colour ale with great body. It has a wonderful aroma and a smooth taste that leaves you begging for more. With over 100 recipes under my belt this is my best by a long shot. I hope you enjoy it as much as me!!!

  • 3.5kg amber malt extract
  • 750g munich malt
  • 200 home made dark crystal malt
  • 200g regular crystal malt

  • 70g Northern Brewer 8% for 60 mins

  • 3/4 cups dextrose/corn sugar for bottling
  • Ale yeast
  • 23 litre recipe
