Be sure to check out our other page on making a simplified three gallon batch of all-grain homebrew without lots of extra equipment and expense. Extract brewers will be shocked at how simple this all-grain procedure is, and how wonderful the resulting beer will taste! Grains listed for each recipe will make three gallons in the fermenter based on the procedures attached to this page. Colors of grains are listed in degrees Lovibond, and bittering potential of hops is listed in percent alpha acid. Just try to get close to these specifications -- if you're a little off, your beer will still turn out fine. Remember to add a tiny pinch of ascorbic acid (for its anti-bacterial effect) and a teaspoon or so of irish moss 15 minutes before the end of each boil. A good liquid yeast always works better than dry yeast. I've been impressed by the new White Labs liquid yeasts -- check out their website at www.whitelabs.com.

Crystal Pale Ale (3 gallons)
Boil wort for one hour total. Primary ferment for 7-10 days and bottle. (Note on dry hopping: try adding hop pellets to the primary fermenter around four days after you brew. Fermentation will be pretty much over and will not blow off the hop aroma from the pellets. Hop pellets will slowly sink to the bottom of the fermenter over the next few days. This gives a beautiful hop aroma to your beer.)
Sweet Stout (3 gallons)
Boil wort for 75 minutes total. Primary ferment for 7 days, secondary ferment in 3 gallon carboy for 7 more days, and bottle. (Dark, roasty, sweet, and smooth!)
Belgian White (3 gallons)
Boil wort for 75 minutes total. Primary ferment for 7-10 days, then bottle. (Light, tart, spicy, and refreshing!)
Jewel of the Crown Brown Ale (3 gallons)
Boil wort for one hour total. Primary ferment for 7-10 days and bottle. (Smooth and mellow with a slight roasted nut flavor.)
Please remember that these recipes all are based on the simplified 3 gallon all-grain procedure that is linked to below. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results. If you have any questions at all, feel free to email Owen.
