West Country White Ale

This is a recipe I created for a club competition, and what you see below is the original recipe scaled up to 11 gallons from the original 10 gallons (accounts for packaging losses better). I like this beer, though it was distinctly lacking any honey character and I think the info I’ll take from the experience is that it takes more than 4 lbs of honey in 10 gallons of beer to have a meaningful flavour impact.

This recipe is a derivative of my original West Country White Ale, which was made for a club competition requiring honey. Though that beer was good, the honey character was largely absent, so more honey would be needed to truly give it the honey flavour. The main changes on the version of the recipe is that the honey was removed and the grain bill was scaled to keep the gravity in the desired range.
