Mash Notes
overshot OG by 10 points. Not sure where that came from ... higher efficiency in mash most likely.


Fermentation Notes
Overchilled on initial pitching. Left fermenter out in 70 deg F closet to start fermentation and then moved to cooler to ferment at 60 deg F.


Notes
Bring mash water to 163 deg F. Add crushed grains and hold at 158 deg F for one hour. Strain the grains into the brewpot and sparge with 2 qts of 170 deg F water. Bring water to 4 gal and bring to a boil. Take off heat and add extract. Stir well and bring back to a boil.

Add bittering hops and boil for 45 minutes. Add Irish Moss and boil another 15 minutes (60 minute total boil time).

Whirlpool 5 minutes. Top off to 5 gals with cool water and chill to 70 deg F. Aerate well and pitch yeast. Ferment at 60 deg F. Make take as long as three weeks. Rack to secondary and continue to condition at 60 deg F for another two to three weeks till clear.

Boil 1.5 cups DME in 1 qt water and cool to room tempurature. Mix well with beer in bottling bucket and bottle. Let sit at about 70 deg F for a week to begin carbonation and then cold condition in refrigerator for 6 to 12 weeks.
