Schedule:
I use an unorthodox mashing method. I dump the grist into the mashing vessel (5 gallon Rubbermaid MLT) and top off with hot water to bring the mash to 153 °F and let it set for 30 minutes. Drain off the first runnings, then repeat. Drain off the second runnings then sparge with the remainder of the 8 gallons of water I started with.

Notes:
* Gravity at racking to secondary - 1.022
* Efficiency is low on this recipe due to lack of proper tools (a stainless steel spoon or mashing paddle) to effectively mix grist and water. Subsequent brewings (of different beers) have reached 75%+ efficiency since the use of a wooden paddle to mix the mash. Future efficiency is expected to be greater.

Newer here so short reply or response.Love the logo!If it is yours ,brilliant,if not,still good.Sounds like a great winter beer to help keep you warm.

Thanks,

The beer is very similar to a Stoudt's IIPA or a DFH 90 Minute, maybe not in flavor, but in malt and hop presence.

The label is my own design, although I did snag the dude on a stick from the Interwebs.
