Medieval Household Beer (1587)
per Gallon
OG 65
The hop rate is beginning to approach modern practice. The amber malt is needed to reproduce the nut-brown character of medieval beer. The beer character is similar to modern high gravity light mild ale.
1 3/4 lb Pale Malt
1/2 oz Fuggles or Goldings Hops
12 oz Amber Malt
2 1/2 oz Wheatmeal
2 1/2 oz Oatmeal
Method No.1, but simmer the wheatmeal and oatmeal in boiling water for 10 minutes before adding to the malt mash.
Mature for 3-4 months.
