I thought my day was going great.
Here is the recipe I was shooting for
Amount Item Type % or IBU
7.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (1.8 SRM) Grain 73.68 %
1.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 15.79 %
1.00 lb Candi Syrup Amber* (40.0 SRM) Sugar 10.53 %
0.78 oz Chinook [13.00 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 40.2 IBU
1.00 oz Chinook [13.00 %] (0 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -
1.00 oz Willamette [5.50 %] (0 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -
1 Pkgs American Ale (Safale #S-05) Yeast-Ale
Started with 4.75 gallons of water for 8.5 lbs of grain.
Mashed at 155-150 for one hour. I use the variable because I dropped roughly 3 degrees within the hour.
took sample for hydrometer
pulled the bag and let drain and then poured 170 degree water over the grains and let drain again. The water I poured over the grain brought me to 6.25 gallons as I was shooting for a 5.25 gallon batch.
Not sure what its worth but my before boil gravity was 1.060
My boil went fine added my hops at the right time, added my candy syrup with no issues and cooled the wort to 70 withing 12 mins.
When I gathered my last wort sample before putting it into my primary I let it sit for a while and when I came back I saw this?? not sure what it is but I am almost certain its just grain particles. The wort tastes like the smell of grain and its very strong tasting not what I was hoping for. Any ideas if this is worth pitching my yeast. WIll this make decent beer or whats my outcome looking like.
Thanks Jake
