St Austell’s Admiral's Ale ???

Post by WishboneBrewery » Sun Apr 26, 2009 8:02 pm

Anyone got a recipe for anything like this, its jolly nice :) An Extract recipe would be good ;) though it looks like a couple more hop varieties could be on the order list :)
Admirals Ale 5% abv

Admiral's Ale – It was at St Austell’s Blue Anchor that the King’s messenger carrying news of the battle first stopped for refreshment on his long journey from Cornwall to London. This premium bottle-conditioned ale has been uniquely brewed using our own Cornish Gold malt. Locally grown barley is traditionally malted using a special kilning process which develops a deeper intensity of colour and flavour than ordinary barley malt. Blended with both Styrian Golding and Cascade hops, the result is a deep bronze ale with a delicious rich biscuit flavour and a wonderful spicy aroma.

It's 100% Cornish gold malt, which is in fact Munich malt from a matlings in Devon. Don't know what the extract equivalent for this is though!

Not much here that you didn't already know, but in any case:

St. Austell Admiral's Ale (ESB)
ABV: 5.0%
IBU: 42
Colour: deep golden amber
Grainbill: 100% Cornish Gold Malt (some sources indicate small % CaraHell)
Bittering Hops: Styrian Golding (90 min)
Aroma Hops: Cascade (at flame-out, then steep)
Yeast: proprietary English ale, but they supposedly use their primary strain in bottle-conditioning, which you can reuse.

I was of the impression that Admirals Ale had willamette in it. Probably wrong though, will consult my scribblings and get back. Proper beer though, superb with a roast dinner.

That's entirely possible. There are hops purists who would hang me for this, but I'd consider Stryrian Goldings and Willamette almost interchangeable (at least boiled for 90 minutes, that is). Styrian Goldings are actually a Fuggles transplant grown in Slovenia. Willamette is a US-bred higher-yielding Fuggles replacement.

Plus, breweries change their recipes a lot from year to year, depending on availability, costs, introduction of "replacement" cultivars, etc. That beer's been around awhile, perhaps we just saw statements from different eras.

HSD and Admiral's are also bottle conditioned like Proper Job and I think they use the same strain for all of their ales so you should be able to culture from them as well.
