Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've been around here, but I'm still making beer and I'm about to brew a CA Common. I did a bunch of research and put together a (hopefully) good recipe. I'll be brewing a 3-gallon recipe, BIAB, with NortherBrewer and Cluster hops, and Wyeast 1056. If all goes according to plan, I'll have an OG of 1.051, 41 IBU, and just under 5% abv.
A specific question I have is ferment time. For 3 gallons (I use a 6 gallon big mouth) I usually go for 9-10 days given the yeast and head room. Is that good for this style or should I bump it up to 14-ish days?
Also, I'm planning a 60 minute mash at 154. From what I've read that seems normal for this style.
Anything else I need to know? I usually brew pale ales and IPAs, and my last batch was a spiced oatmeal stout. Thanks!
