Gak & Laurel's Garlic Beer

Classification: spiced ale, garlic beer, extract

Source: Richard Stueven (richard.stueven@corp.sun.com) Issue #757, 11/7/91

Ingredients:

6 pounds, plain light extract syrup (hopped? who knows...)
2 ounces, Cascade leaf (boil)
2 ounces, Cascade leaf (finish)
one Big Thing of garlic (maybe half the size of your fist)
Whitbread dry ale yeast

Procedure:

The procedure is the same as for any simple extract beer. Chop up the garlic and throw it into the boil for the full 60 minutes. If you don't want quite so much garlic flavor, strain the garlic bits out before racking (we didn't). Add 2 ounces of Cascade hops at begining of boil and again in the last ten minutes. Cool. Pitch yeast.
