Mash grains in 13.3 qts water for 60 min @ 150 degrees F. Strike temp 167 degrees F. Sparge with 3 gal water @. 170 degrees F. 90 min boil utilizing hop additions as per recipe and Whilfloc at 20 min. Chill to 70 degrees F. And add water to make 5.5 Gal and pitch yeast.

Welcome

1.You should only be posting tried and true recipes in this thread.
2. I believe Wyeast 1272 is considered the Anchor strain.

That looks good! I enjoy a Liberty Ale occasionally, thanks for sharing, let us know how it turns out!

I've moved this from the Recipe Database (which is for tried and true recipes) to the Recipes and Ingredients subforum.

I could be wrong but I thought Liberty Ale only used 2 Row Malt and Cascade hops.

Again, I may be wrong on this.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a smash recipe. I'd leave out the crystal malt, but doubt that the choice of bittering hops would matter that much. Can't you get the anchor ale yeast as well? I think it's cal ale II, or something like that.

That looks right if your efficiency is only about 65%. If more efficient then reduce base malt down to 11 or 12 lb. OG should be around 1.058-1.060, something like that.

EDIT: Wait a minute... you should also double all the hops. Not enough IBUs.

Yep I didn’t catch that. 11 lbs is perfect, only thing I see is Anchors website state 47 IBU, I upped my 60 min addition to 1 oz. according to brewersfriend that should put me right around that target.

That looks really good and may be one of my next 3 brews. Love Liberty ale and like clone recipes a lot. I will need to get 1272 for it, though.
