Dorchester Ale (ca. 1800)
per Gallon
OG 100
The original recipe used only amber and brown malts; such would not mash satisfactorily today. The grist has been chosen to reproduce the character required in a form that is easier to process. This is a dark brown barley wine.
1 lb Pale Malt
1 1/4 oz Fuggles or Goldings Hops
2 lb Crystal Malt
1 lb Brown Malt
8 oz Diastatic Malt Syrup
Method No. 2(b), but add the malt syrup to the wort before boiling with the hops to break up any residual starch.
Mature for at least 10 months.
