I have searched for an accurate Worthington White Shield Clone recipe and found nothing satisfying. The color was off, the hops were not the good variety, the malt was not right and the ABV wasn’t spot on.
So from all the serious sources of information I found on the subject, I came with this recipe that hits all the numbers and uses all the right ingredients. As it is such a classic brew, I thought a long mash (75 min) and a long boil (90 min) should be made.
Here’s my recipe for a 6 U.S. Gallons Batch (5 Imperial Gallons)
Water Agents
0.5 tbsp Chalk
1.5 tbsp Gypsum
Mash (75 min @ 149 F)
9.5 lbs Halcyon Malt
12 oz English Crystal 150
Hops
0.75 oz. Fuggles @ 90 min.
0.75 oz. Challenger @ 90 min.
1.25 oz. Northdown @ 10 min.
Clearing Agent
1 tbsp Irish Moss @ 10 min.
Adjuncts
1 lbs. Lyle’s Golden Syrup (Inverted Sugar) @ 0 min.
BOIL 90 min
OG 1.053
FG 1.010
IBU 40.6
SRM 13.1
ABV 5.6 %
Prime for a 2.0 vol. carbonation
What do you think?
Anything I should adjust to make it closer to the classic Worthington White Shield IPA?
