Autumn Red Ale Creation

A new creation for the fall. Think of the crisp air with a hint of wood smoke as brightly colored leaves float gently to the ground. Imagine yourself sitting by an open fire wrapped in a blanket with a nice pint of Autmn Red Ale. I would also enjoy a nicely packed pipe and a crowd of good friends. Enjoy the creation of the Autumn Red Ale….

All the wonderful ingredients: grains, light malt extract, hops, and yeast. Oh yeah, and water (not pictured)

Like a heavenly tea the grains are steeped in hot water for about an hour with the next two pictues being the result.

Add the hops!!!!

These grains won’t go to waste. We’ll use them in bread, mufins, pizza dough, etc..

After the final dose of hops and after cooking for an hour it’s time for an ice bath to cool the wort to a reasonable temperature before we add that wonderful creation called yeast.

Stay tuned for more on this Autumn treat.
