My first all-grain. Here is the recipe:
Recipe: Red Trolley Clone
TYPE: ALL GRAIN
Recipe Specifications
--------------------------
Batch Size: 3.00 gal
Boil Size: 4.00 gal
Estimated OG: 1.056 SG
Estimated Color: 14.5 SRM
Estimated IBU: 18.6 IBU
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
6.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM)
0.25 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
0.50 oz Williamette [5.50%] (60 min)
0.50 oz Glacier [5.60%] (5 min)
1 Pkgs American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056) Yeast-Ale
------
I mashed around 158 for 45 min. Since this was my first time using a converted cooler, I wasn't sure how fast I needed to dran the mash tun, so I got some stuck sparges at first, and it took almost 25 min to drain a 3 gallon cooler initially. The sparge went much better and maybe took 10 minutes to drain that. Now I know what to do for next time.
I measured the gravity and it came in a 1.055 at 117 degrees. I collected 4 gallons of wort. One question: I am not sure how to calculate the efficiency, mainly because I don't know if I am supposed to convert that 1.055 reading to the standarn or what!?! The gravity reading at pitching (with 3 gallons in the fermenter) was 1.064 at 84 degrees. So, maybe 1.067 at most.
Can anyone tell me my efficiency? Thanks!
