Owen's Simplified 3 Gallon All-Grain Homebrew Recipes

(Click here for steps and procedures.)

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.

"If It's Not Scottish..." Scottish Ale (3 gallons)

  • 7 lbs. 2 row pale malt
  • 1 1/2 lb. crystal malt (60-100 L)
  • 1/2 oz. Styrian Goldings hops (5% aa) - boil 60 mins.
  • 1 tsp. gypsum in mash water.
  • Scottish Ale liquid yeast.

Boil wort for one hour with hops added at the start of the boil. Primary ferment for 7-10 days and bottle. (Malty and rich!)


Crystal Pale Ale (3 gallons)

  • 7 lbs. 2 row pale malt
  • 1 lb. crystal malt (40-80 L)
  • 1/2 oz. Crystal hops (5% aa) - boil 60 mins.
  • 1/2 oz. Crystal hops - boil last 15 mins.
  • 1/2 oz. Crystal hops - dry hop after 4 days in the primary fermenter.
  • 1 tsp. gypsum in mash water.
  • American Ale liquid yeast.

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)

  • 5 lbs. 2 row pale malt
  • 1/2 lb. toasted malt (on a cookie sheet in your oven at 350ûF for 10 mins.).

  • 1 lb. crystal malt (40 L)
  • 1/2 lb. crystal malt (135 L)
  • 1 oz. Kent Goldings hops (5% aa) - boil 75 mins.
  • 3/4 lb. lactose sugar added last 15 mins. of boil.
  • 1 tsp. gypsum in mash water.
  • Irish Ale liquid yeast

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)

  • 3 lbs. unmalted or torrified wheat
  • 1 lb. flaked oats.
  • 4 lbs. pilsner malt

  • 1 oz. fresh orange peel last 10 mins of boil.
  • 1 oz. crushed coriander seeds last 5 mins. of boil.
  • Add another 1/2 oz. crushed coriander into primary fermenter after 4 or 5 days (soak seeds in a tiny bit of vodka for 10 min. before adding to fermenter).
  • 1 tsp. gypsum in mash water.
  • Belgian White liquid yeast.

Boil wort for 75 minutes total. Primary ferment for 7-10 days, then bottle. (Light, tart, spicy, and refreshing!)
