Recipe:
Grain:
7.5lb GW 2 Row
8lb Golden Promise
1lb Crystal 40L
Hops:
2oz Centennial @ 60m
1.5oz Centennial @ 10m
1.5oz Colombus @ 10m
1.5oz Centennial @ 5m
1.5oz Colombus @ 5m
3oz Centennial for 7 days in secondary
4oz Simcoe for 7 days in secondary
Yeast:
Wyeast 1056 Slurry (that thing keeps on giving!)
Extras:
I meant to add 2tsp Gypsum at boil and 2tsp Irish Moss at 15m, but I forgot.
6.2gallons Strike @ 163
8.3gallons Sparge @ 176
Collected 4 gallons from mash and 8.5 gallons from sparge.
Pre-boil gravity adjusted to 1.038 with temp at 140.
Post-boil gravity was 1.043
Anticipated post-boil gravity was 1.043, so I nailed it!
Anticipated final gravity: 1.011
IBU's: 68
Notes:
Gregg modeling the brew tree. Very nice. |
The counter-flow-chiller wasn't quite as efficient this time, but I still finished right around 75. I think I need to get the counter-water flow dialed in. But, the Canadian is fermenting away right now as I type....
Counter-Flow-Chiller in action. |
Update 4/14/11: Gravity is at 1.016 and 1.014 in the two fermenting buckets. Another day or two and I'll move to secondary.
Update 4/16/11: Racked to secondary and added the dry hops. However due to my cheapness I only added 2oz of Centennial and 2oz of Simcoe.
Update 4/25/11: I kegged 5 gallons a couple days ago and now I'm waiting for it to be fully carbonated. Since this is my first keg set up, I'm still figuring it out. Hopefully it'll be ready soon. I'll be bottling the other five gallons with Gregg tonight...Bottled it up and got 12 22's and 29 12's. Pretty good amount and everything went quite smoothly.
