What do you think of the recipe? 90 min boil. I didn't hit the OG. It came in at 1.066. Probably because of poor sparging? I batch sparged starting with 5 gallons of water and it stayed at 154 degrees for 75 minutes then I slowly ran off that and when it slowed dramatically (to a trickle) I added another w2.5 gallons slowly at 175degrees to get a preboil of 5.5 gal. Boiled and had 4 gal post boil so added 1 gallon cool water to help get temp down before pitching. Pitched at 68 and threw in the ferm chamber at ambient of 59. I also plan to dry hop after two to three weeks. Any suggestions on a type and amount of hoops for that to meld with what I already did?
Yahoo for my first all grain. It's my third batch. The first was a milk stout that has off flavors and bad aftertaste. The second was a hefe that turned out great after a month of ageing. It is getting better with age.
