Clone Spitfire Recipe
The Spitfire as a premium Ale is a superb beer. Here is my clone of the famous premium ale. It also fits nicely along side, my other beers, the Lancastor bomber, the mosquito bomber and the hurricane ale. This is simalar to the recipe found in the book Clone brews.
It goes a little like this, I’ll let you know at Christmas whether it is close to the real thing.
For a 2 gallon brew.
120g Crystal malt
80g Maris Otter Malt
80g Amber malt
60 g torrified wheat.
Steep grains in about a gallon of water at 65C for 20 mins
1.5kg Pale Malt Extract.
60g wheat dried malt extract.
1/2oz Target hops.
Boil for 45mins.
1/2oz East Kent goldings hops
1/2 teasp Irish Moss.
Boil for a further 13mins then add
1/4oz East Kent goldings hops.
I used Safale S04 yeast, I also dry hop the wort with 1/4oz of East Kent Goldings Hops.
This is too cleared and then put into a 2 gallon barrel, then force carbonated. If you are bottling save 100 grams of the pale malt extract to prime the bottles, or subsitute dried malt extract and prime with that.
I have a feeling this may be a little stronger than the real Spitfire Ale, hopefully it taste good whatever the out come.
