So I tried the Sierra Nevada again today. This time I dropped to Crystal 40L instead of the 60L to try to get the color a little closer. I also used fresh Cascade hops for the flameout aroma addition. Everything went smooth, although it took 6 hours since I was doing a double batch. I ended up with close to 12.5 to 13 gallons fermenting. This will nicely fill my keg, fill 48 bottles for my neighbor, and still leave me with a supply to give away to friends!
Recipe:
25lb GW 2-Row
1.65lb Crystal 40L
Hops:
1.5oz CTZ for 60m
.5oz Warrior for 30m
1oz Fresh Cascade for 10m
4oz Fresh Cascade at flameout for 10m
Yeast:
1056 Wyeast slurry that keeps on going!
Extras:
2tsp Irish Moss @10m
Notes:
Gravity came in at 1.062. It was supposed to be 1.063, so I'll take it! Smooth brewing day, other than ending up with about a gallon more than anticipated. Maybe I need to lengthen my boils to 75m.
Update 9/4/11: Kegged my portion and got 12 12oz bottles with it. It's pretty cloudy, but really tasty. I also bottled my neighbors portion and got 48 12's for him and another 18 12's for me! Nice thing about having too much, I get to give some away now! FG on my batch was 1.011, and 1.016 on the other half.
