Today I felt the need to make 12 gallons of SNPA. I have made it before and did not quite have enough gravity but this time it is right there. I also used Magnum for bittering and then at 30 min Perle and at the 5 minute mark I tossed in 4.5 ozs of cascade. I cooled in 20 Min to 80F and drained into the carboys. I did not worry about whirlpooling at all so I got all the goodness. I also fly sparged (limited the flow to last 1 hour) and got 80 percent eff. Most of the time I don't even check it. The hydrometer sample was yummy. I got WLP001 slurry yeast from the brewery near me this time and pitched 500 ML to each carboy at 80F. This should be going good in 4 hours I think. Everything went smooth as butter. I love it when a plan comes together.
