well......... changed it a bit, not intentionally
Brewed it today, thought i had 3oz of cascade, turns out i had 3/4oz. I forgot i used it on this ipa i was making and then 1/4 on a goofy 1 gallon batch. Anyways.. had to make due with the bits of this and that which i had. Went for a smoother taste and bigger aroma than taste. Ibu's should be about 22?
I threw the 40 mins in at the hot break, before the boil. And started counting on the clock at that point, so it was kind of a first wort hop with a 30 min boil realistically. Just trying out different methods.
Hop schedual ended up...
.75oz Cascade @ 40min
.50oz Fuggles @ 40min
.5 oz Palisade @ 10min
Didn't hit the gravity i was hoping for either. Got .038 :-( but i didn't boil it as much because i was running out of gas and had to get out of the house. got about 6.25 gallons... So it's not all my efficiency, but i was only at like 65% or so? Which sucks hard, but i think i'm loosing out with this new MLT and i'm going to have to redisign the bottom or just suck it up and buy a false bottom.... we'll have to see
On a lighter note, first time using rice hulls and i don't think i'll ever brew without them again. Man it made things go a LOT smoother.
Pitched a bottle of yeast i had pulled off an ale a few weeks ago. It's a wyeast ale yeast, not sure what number cause it was off a beer my buddie pitched the yeast on.
Hope it tastes good, it smells like good beer, and it looks light with a big white head when i was shaking it.
