Notes

https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/what-would-ben-franklin-drink/ Tony Simmons’ colonial recipe, Poor Richard’s Ale, was brewed by 100 breweries across 35 states to celebrate Franklin’s 300th birthday on January 17, 2006. Description: Poor Richard’s Ale has a complex aroma with a pleasant malty, corny, and slightly nutty character, enhanced by a slight molasses-spiced undertone that adds an almost fine tobacco-like quality. The flaked corn will lighten the body and provide a nice counterbalance to malt flavors. Hop bitterness and flavor are designed to be medium-low. The molasses will add an additional level of spiciness/bitterness that will compensate for the lower IBU level (providing an impression of more bitterness than a typical Strong Scotch Ale.) Yeast Subsitutes: English (WLP002 or WY1968) or Scottish (WLP028 or WY1728)
