THE BOIL
Boil time (mins): 60
Additions and timing:
The Mash, heat around 8L of water to 71c, place the grains into a hop sock and then soak in the heated water leave it there for an hour, at the end of the hour remove the grains and heat the pan to boil.
Boil time (mins): 60
Once 100c boil has been reached count down 60 minutes boil time and add hops at correct timings:
50g Northern Brewer Hops – 60 mins
At the end of the boil if you have not already done so then sanitise your fermenter and paddle now.
Add the hot wort from the pan to your fermenter.
Add in the Malt Extract and mix well.
Place the remaining hops (82g Northdown and 82g Perle into the hopsock and sit that in the hot wort and Malt Extract) for a hop stand, Hop Stand can be 20-60 minutes, its up to you, the recommended is the full 60 mins. At the end remove the hop sock and top up with cold water to 23L, do this vigorously to ensure it is aerated
Yeast: NBS Ale Yeast
Fermentation temperature/steps: 25c 9 days
Check the temperature of the wort. If it is below 20c then you can now add the yeast.
Fasten the lid on tightly and fix the airlock in place. Position the fermenter in a location that will maintain the temperature ideally around 25c as this is key delivering the flavour of Doom Bar.

Superb 👌🏻 I put a cheeky bottle in the fridge a week after bottling, just to “test” as it were, and was left wishing I’d put a couple in the fridge. I could taste it wasn’t quite ready but still an absolute guzzler. 100% making again soon. Cheers 🍻
