BeerCoAU - The Mule American Amber Ale All-Grain Recipe Kit https://beerco.com.au/collections/all-grain/products/the-mule The Mule - American Amber Ale - All Grain Recipe Kit is named in honour of our co-founder Gus who has ‘muled’ some awesome ales across the Pacific Ocean from the Pacific NW to SoCal, USA ‘back home’ to Melbourne, AU much to our drinking delight :-) The Mule American Amber Ale is based loosely on a favourite US Craft Amber Ale of Gus’ Anderson Valley Boont Amber Ale . Taking a few clues from The Jamil Show – Can You Brew It on the real deal and adding a few of our own twists in the tail we came up with this take on an American classic Amber Ale and we rather like it! Hope you do too and if you brew it please do feel free to share with us your thoughts and feedback and ideas – cheers! This is a starting point with grainbill and hops for the Fresh Jack IPA. Adjust equipment profile, mash profile and efficiency as per your own setup. Brewing salts and kettle finings such as Whirlfloc are optional , the recipe would benefit from a simple addition of 5g Calcium Sulphate mixed with the grains at the start of the mash. METHOD: 1. Mash – the brewer should do normal mash regime, mashing at 66-7 C for at least 60 mins. Use ratio of 3:1 3L of water to 1 Kg of Grain 2. Heat the Mash to Mash Out Temperature 76C for 10 minutes mash out. 3. Sparge – Fly sparge with 11.5 litres of water at 76 C to get your start of boil volume (allow roughly 2L boil off rate per hour). 4. Boil – vigorous boil for 60 mins. You may want to boil for 90 mins if time permits with first bittering hop addition at 60 mins. 5. Hops: Add 50 g Cascade (US) at start of the boil 60 mins Boil then 10 g Cascade (US) 15 mins from end of boil then 10 g Cascade (US) 10 mins from end of Boil then 10 g Cascade (US) 5 mins from end of Boil.
