Darn, those evil dough balls!!! Not bad for the first time. The instructions and recipe that you followed produces distillers beer, not ale. To produce ale and lager with the brewing method malt would need to contain magical properties in order for low temperature activated enzyme to work during a single, high temperature rest without denaturing, which is impossible. Strike and target temperature are useless for producing ale due to the way that enzymes work. The single temperature infusion method and high modified, malt are used in grain distillation. The beer is called distillers beer, the slang term for the beer is moonshiners beer. Malt syrup produces authentic American Prohibition beer. When the beer was produced, conversion, dextrinization and gelatinization steps were skipped and without the steps ale and lager cannot be produced. An entirely different brewing method and under modified, low protein, malt are used for producing ale and lager. To learn how ale and lager are made, start with deClerks books, the books cost about 175 bucks. The best books are Wulf's 1958 and 1959 journals, the books cost about 2000 bucks. Abstracts from the IOB are free, online. In the 19th century, the IOB made malt, modern. The IOB invented the malt spec sheet which comes with each bag of malt. A brewer uses the spec sheet for determining the quality of malt before it is purchased. In the 20th century, a bunch of advertisers invented CAMRA and they renamed distillers beer and Prohibition beer, real ale.
