Style (BJCP): 
04A. Bitter And English Pale Ale - Ordinary Bitter
Volume in US Gallons: 
5 gal
Extract Ingredients: 

3.3 lb Breiss Pilsen Light LME
1 lb Pilsen Light DME
14 oz Crystal 10L Malt
8 oz Belgian Candi Syrup D (SRM 80)
1 oz Challenger Hops (7.0%AAU, bittering)
2 oz Fuggle Hops (finish, dry)
1/4 tsp Irish Moss
1 tsp Burton's Water Salts

Wyeast 1275 Thaymes Valley

Extract Instructions: 

Heat 2 gal H20 to 155F. Steep grains for 30 minutes, holding temp around 150-155F. Sparge (rinse) with 1.5 gal of H20 at 150F and remove grains. Bring to boil. Turn off heat and stir in dry malt extract (DME) until dissolved. Turn heat back on and bring to boil. Start 60 minute timer.

@ 60 min, add 1.0 oz challenger hops and water salts.
@ 15 min, stir in liquid malt extract (LME), being careful to turn off heat until it's dissolved.
@ 5 min, add 1.5 oz fuggle hops (package remaining 0.5 oz hops tightly and put in fridge).

Cool wort to around 90F and pour into sanitized fermenter. Add clean water to reach 5 gallons. Cool to 70-80F and pitch yeast. After primary fermentation subsides (5-10 days), rack to secondary. Store--at a cool temp if possible--for 5-20 days. Add remaining 0.5 oz fuggle hops to secondary 5 days before bottling.

All Grain Ingredients: 

Use extract ingredients above, except replace DME and LME with:

6 lb 4 oz Pale Malt (Marris Otter)

All Grain Instructions: 

TODO: mashing instructions. Mash for higher fermentability, as the crystal malt will leave some residual sweetness and body.

Final Gravity: 
1.011
Original Gravity: 
1.042

Inspired by Papazian's "Beyond the Ordinary Ordinary Bitter" recipe. About 4.5% abv.
