So the plan was to brew an imperial red today...though it's looking to be a strong reddish-amber, lol. (It probably doesn't help that I had to substitute a couple of things...or that I had 8 or 9 people want to partake in some Hot Scotchies from my first runnings...)
Anyway, here's the recipe:
GRAIN
11.5lbs Pale 2-row
2.5lbs Red-X
1.5lbs Crystal (20L)
8oz Crystal (120L)
HOPS
1oz Columbus (60min)
.5oz Centennial (30min)
.5oz Chinook (30min)
.35oz Columbus (30min)
1oz Centennial (1min)
1oz Chinook (1min)
1oz Columbus (1min)
MISC
1lb Brown Sugar (5min)
YEAST
White Labs #005 (3.75L starter)
Mashed w/ 5gal @149F for an hour (161F strike water)
Sparged w/ 4.5gal @169F (prior to adding) for 15min
90min boil
1.071OG (17.25 BRIX)
No pics this time around, alas.
