Hey Denny,
How's your quest for an American mild going?

Hey Denny,
How's your quest for an American mild going?

It's been a year since I brewed one but all I really have left to do is tweak the bitterness level a LITTLE bit.  Turns out it was all about finding the right ingredients....Mecca Grade malt, a hefty dose of organic C60, American Noble hops, and WY1450.

1450? Really?  Didn't see that coming.

Mecca Grade base and specialty malts or is the C60 the only non base malt?

Mecca Grade Pamonta and Metolius....their versions of pale/pale ale and Munich. C60 is Briess....I've found their organic C60 is really nice.

Yeah, whoda think?  😁I use it for at least 75% of what I make, including cider.

Denny, can you expound on why you use organic C60?

Ever consider using Mecca Grade's Opal 44 in place of the C60? Supposed to give a toffee flavor or would that be out of place in the mild? More of a bitter recipe instead?

How much of each?

I have been exploring an American Mild. Often in English beers invert sugars are used. I was thinking that an American sub for English invert could be corn sugar. Karo makes a dark version that might work. I saw the guys at Basic Brewing used a cpl cups in a mild. Anyone here use Dark Karo?

I was thinking Willamette hops.

I have avoided Karo due to the sodium and vanilla in it.  In my quest for an American mild, I found that I needed to get more body into the beer, not less, so for me using any type of sugar wouldn't be an option.

I'd be interested to see your latest iteration if you are willing to share

I'll have to dig it up later.  If I forget, remind me!

No biggie. I remember some posts on it but it's been a while. I could probably run a search to find more info...

I made one recently and it wasn’t entirely AMERICAN ingredients. It was the first time I used BRY 97. I think it turned out very nice for a 3.7 % ABV beer.
5 gallon batch
6 lbs Marris Otter
.5 lb Crystal 120
.25 lb Crystal 60
.25 lb Chocolate
.5 Oz Chinook @60
BRY 97
I might add some later hop additions next time I make this.
