SMAH, The Beer

SMAH, The Beer, All-Grain

(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain) 

(Note, depending on the adjunct used, the gravity and color can vary widely. It should result in a beer of about 5% ABV, but we will skip listing specific recipe statistics given the possible variance.)

Ingredients

10 lbs. (4.5 kg) pale 2-row malt
1 lb. (0.45 kg) adjunct of choice
7 AAU Magnum hops (60 min.) (0.6 oz./17 g at 12% alpha acids)
Neutral ale yeast, such as SafAle US-05 or Wyeast 1056 (American Ale)
¾ cup corn sugar (if priming)

Step by step

Mash grains at 150 °F (66 °C) for an hour. Mash out and collect 6 gallons (23 L) wort for a 60-minute boil. Proceed as usual.

Notes:
Use a neutral water profile. Depending on the adjunct used you may need to prepare it differently. It shouldn’t be a problem at this level of adjunct inclusion, but if you’re feeling nervous, a handful of rice hulls can be added for extra lautering insurance.
