Farmhouse Bière de Table (recipe from Northern Brewer)
5 gallons extract
0.5 lbs Gambrinus Honey Malt
3.15 lbs Pilsen LME
3.15 lbs Pilsen LME (late addition for final 15 min. of boil)
1 oz Tradition @ 6.9% AA (60 min.)
Wyeast 3725 Bière de Garde
60 min boil
Pitched: OG 1.043 on June 26, 2011
Kegged: FG 1.004 on July 23, 2011
Notes:
I've never had a recipe before that called for adding fermentables late in the boil, and I'm not sure that I handled it perfectly. The recipe didn't mention anything about turning the brewpot off so I added the syrup straight in and stirred it but even in those few seconds it seems as though some scorching took place, so I hope that the taste impact isn't too significant though the colour is almost certainly going to be darker than intended. Other than that, this was a very easy recipe and the fermentation so far is excellent.
