Brewed EdWort's Haus Pale Ale on Saturday, Sept. 8.

The ingredients. Substituted crystal 15 for crystal 10, because that is what I had on hand.

The equipment. Simple, yet effective.

Yeast is pitched and its in the freezer (on the left), next to a robust porter.

Mashout plus single batch sparge got me 80% efficiency. OG = 1.060, higher than expected because my efficiency was much better than I planned on, and I also boiled off more wort than expected.
