Ingredients:





     7 lb Australian Light Malt Syrup


   3/4 lb Light Crystal Malt


 2 1/4 oz Nugget Hops


          (1-3/4 ounce for boiling


   1/2 oz For finishing)


     2 ts Gypsum


     1 oz Dextrin Malt


   3/4 c  Corn Sugar (priming)


          Wyeast London Ale Yeast






 Crack and steep crystal malt at 155 - 170 F for about 45 minutes in  1/2


 gallon  of water. Add extract, gypsum, dextrin and 2 gallons  of  water.


 Bring  to boil, then add 1 3/4 oz. hops. Boil for 45 minutes,  then  add


 1/2 oz. hops at the end of the boil for 15 minutes. About four years ago I


 ordered a bottle of Full Sail Ale  while  having lunch in Portland, Oregon.


 Full Sail was the most expensive beer on  the menu, and I figured that at


 $2.75 a bottle I didn't have much to  lose. Several others who were with me


 did the  same,  and  were  pleasantly surprized---Full Sail offers a


 reasonably complex (a hint of  sweetness along with medium strong hops and


 a rich malty flavor) taste and  aroma in a medium-bodied ale. Since I first


 tasted this ale, I had to rely on others making trips  to the Northwest to


 bring back six packs of this ale. A few months ago,  I visited the Hood


 River Brewing Company in Hood River, Oregon. I was able to get enough


 information to experiment with a homebrew recipe for  Full Sail Ale. My


 first experiment turned out remarkably similar to the  real thing in body,


 aroma, and flavor. Original Gravity: 1.045 Final Gravity: 1.020 Primary
