Converted from Graham Wheeler's Exmoor Gold all grain recipe to extract and US measures. Used combination of Maris Otter LME and DME. Yes, Exmoor gold is a Single Malt recipe, but did not want to break into another Maris Otter LME jug. Added Calcium Sulphate to aid in yeast performance and clarity (per Wheeler book). Adding post-flameout hops once wort chilled to 175F, then resting for 30 mins before chilling. NOTE: Need to check the ppg contribution of the Maris Otter malt extract since this came out at 1052, finished at 1012, resulting in an ABV of 5.2%.

Notes:

Clean malt, but the hop is subdued, probably due to the late addition (at 175F). Needs a bit more bittering. Carbonation is good.
