Ingredients List
- 6 lb Williams' English Light malt
- Extract
- 1/2 lb Crystal malt (unknown
- Lovibond)
- 2 oz Hallertau hops (4.0 AA%) (45
- Minutes)
- 1/2 oz Hallertau hops (4.0 AA%) (5
- Minutes)
- 4 lb Raspberries
- Wyeast liquid yeast (London
- Ale)
Directions
Prepare 1 quart starter two nights before. Purchase some fresh rasp-
berries (if possible. Try local farmer's market). Freeze raspberries
night before brewing to break down cell walls. Pre-boil some water.
Cooled some and freeze some. Prepare wort as usual by steeping crystal
malt in 150-160F water while the brew pot water is heating up and sparg
into the brewpot. Boil about an hour. Add 2 ounces Hallertau at 15
minutes and another 1/2 ounces at end of boil. At the end of the boil,
toss all the raspberries into the brewpot and let sit for fifteen min-
utes. Wort was pretty cool by then. Toss *everything* into the fermen-
ter. (With the raspberries in there, I figured I couldn't get any S.G.
readings, so I didn't try.) In spite of everything, this came out very very
well, with rave reviews from everyone.
