That's what happens when you inadvertently double the grain bill for a fine Biermuncher recipe, you have to come up with an inspiring title for the recipe.
My first all-grain brew (I have at least 30 extract/minimash brews under my belt) came out great. The second AG is a Celebration clone, that's riding the yeast cake still (should be kegged today).
I used a Zapap for the MLT, with a Harley blanket as insulation. Wort tasted sweet, it was good to go.
This is the best tasting brew I have made to date. I have defended extract brews on numerous occasions but . . .
the all-grain worked out a lot better.
Here's the data from my log
Blonde FAIL—er I mean ALE
12 lbs pilsen malt
2 lbs flaked corn\
1.5 lbs flaked rice
US-05
Mashed in Zapap for 60ish minutes with strike water at 175 (that was strike temp at add-in), wrapped mash tun in harley davidson blanket
Drained out to bucket, batch sparged with 3-4 gallons at 175-180, let sit for 14 minutes, drained out to bucket, put runnings in 7.5gal pot, heated to boil. 2Oz cascade hops at 60, .25-.50 oz nugget hops at 30, 2 oz Crystal hops at 5 min.
I switched out the hops from the original recipe quite a bit, going with what I had on hand. Still waiting for carbonation to take, but the pre-carbed sample tastes better than anything coming out of the home brewery so far.
Cheers!
