Just out of curiosity guys,
I just brewed my first AG last week. It was a recipe from Tele Twanger (thanks by the way, Austin Homebrew's clone wasn't what I was expecting, more like a pale ale rather than a Boston Ale) Anyway the recipe goes as follows:
Mash:
8.0 lbs Pale Malt (used 8.5 lbs)
.5 lbs Crystal 60L (used 80L - LHBS was out of 60L)
.25 lbs Carapils (used .5 lbs, read the recipe wrong)
Single infusion 152F 60 min (more like 154F)
Hops:
2 oz Spalt pellet 3.3%AA 60 min (28 IBU)
1 oz EK Gold pellet 5%AA 15 min (5 IBU)
1 oz Fuggle plug (dryhop last 10 days secondary)
I batched sparged with Bobby M method and ended up with a total of 7 gallons of wort.
S.G. 1.038 - 1.040 (7 gal)
O.G. 1.048 (6 gal after diluting my 5 gallons with an extra gallon of tap water from not watching the hose on the wort chiller, was getting my yeast, Nottingham's ready)
F.G. 1.010 after 6 days, still in the primary for another 2 weeks
What I really would like to know is, "How was my efficiency for my first time?" Right now the home computer is down (using the work computer), otherwise would have downloaded beersmith.
Thanks for any input
