INSTRUCTIONS
Steep black patent malt in 2 gallons of water bringing to boil.
Strain out grain. Add extract and boil with Cascade hops, gypsum,
and salt. Boil 60 minutes. Remove from heat. Add finishing hops
and cherries. Steep 30 minutes. Strain into fermenter with cold
water to make 5 gallons. Pitch yeast. This recipe came from Charlie
Papazian many years ago. This is supposed to make a lager, but I've
never actually produced a lager with this recipe, only an ale. The
cherries add a sweetness, but are not over- powering in a dark beer.
I also tried another cherry beer called "Sinfully Red Cherry Ale" from
the Spring 1984 issue of Zymurgy. This used 10 pounds of cherries and
made a much lighter beer. Recipe By : Serving Size: File
