Went ahead and brewed this up today... I was so impressed with the ease (and quickness) of brewing that I think I convinced myself that I might need to start some extract brewing again on a more regular basis! Will post again when I see how fermentation is going, and later when kegged and pouring...
Here is what I brewed today:
6 lbs Light DME
1 lb Crystal 40L
Citra 1 oz (14.1 alpha) 15 min
Citra 1 oz (""""""""""") 10 min
Citra 1 oz (""""""""""") 2 min
OG of ~1.052 with a volume of ~5.25 gal
Have 1 oz Citra planned for dry hopping, and I did use the Belle Saison yeast. My faux pa's today were my first boil over in I don't know how long...this brew was as much a test of my new burner as anything (was much quicker than I thought it would be!), and I was super excited at how quickly it got things going. Also, there was an accidental failure of my grain bag that let most of the Crystal 40 into the boil...just went ahead and 'decocted' it along with the short boil, and I'm sure some of the grains went into the fermenter as well....oh, well, RDWHAHB!
