Memorial Mild
Served as a pReal Ale. Once I'm halfway done drinking it I'll
serve it under air but for now I'm making up the volume with CO2.
Wonderfully complex flavour. Not much I'd change if I do it again.

| 8 oz. Brown sugar | ||||||||
| Turned off heat for 2 minutes' silence to observe November 11. Added hops at end of Rememberance and resumed. Added pinch Irish Moss at 15 minutes before strike. |
||||||||
| Hops: | 40g Cascade (4.5% AA, 45 min.) | |||||||
| Yeast: | Yeast cultured from bottle of Chimay Blue Label, recovered from secondary of an Imperial Stout. |
|||||||
| Log: | Brewed Nov. 11, 1999. Rack to secondary at day 2, had lots of molasses flavour Kegged most of batch on day 16 with 1/4 cup glucose in Corny laid on side with a short "gas in" tube inserted in the "out" fitting. |
|||||||
| Carbonation: | Found that 1/4 cup glucose is ideal for 19 L of a "pReal Ale". Used CO2 to displace volume for first half of keg. |
|||||||
| Tasting: | Dropped bright 7 days after kegging. Wouldn't change anything, but I want to try this yeast in other beers. |
