yukon smoked ale
picked up one of these the other day...This will be my first real attempt at making beer with recipe....any suggestions for this particular brew?
I have just brewed one of these, and tried my first bottles last night. A good beer, but not one I would rave about. My recipe was:
Morgans Yukon kit
Amber Dry Malt 1kg
600gm dextrose
Safale s-04 yeast
23 litres.
It seems to me, very much like a Tooheys Black, with a hint of smokey aroma.
If I were to do it again, I think I would substitute the dextrose with maltodextrin, or something to give a bit more body (seems a bit thin, or watery for a brown ale). Maybe a 1.5kg liquid amber malt, plus 250gm maltodextrin (I like to boost the alcohol a little to about 5.0-5.4%).
