Ale - Düsseldorf AltbierAll Grain
Brewer's Notes
Displaying a deep red colour and unusual aroma, this beer is a medium-sweet altbier. Style guidelines describe Alts as dry, but many authentic versions contain large amounts of crystal malt. Hops were Hallertauer Taurus not Magnum, but any clean bittering hop should be OK. Nottingham dry yeast fermented 14-15C worked well, and produced a beer as clear as if filtered. Mash: 15min @ 52, 30 min @ 63, 30min @ 70. Mashin/out if you like. FG was much lower than 1.018 - more like 1.012
