Well an update to this beer. It taste great. Perfect blend of citrus and bitter. May not fit a style but it taste good and goes with burgers good.

As far as I know it is not set up for that.

I have not used the sct-1000, it looks good and is cheap. But I like being able to pull mine up while I'm at work. Because of that I have a brewpi and ardnuino. It is great to have if you can spend a little extra and can diy it. I think it ran me $75

I took the OG at 90*. And corrected the OG for temperature

I ran the grains thru the crusher twice at my lhbs and I read the Temps from a floating thermometer in the middle of the mash

It was hard to gauge, but 152 is where it settled at after stirring. I checked and stirred every 15 min through a 60 min mash

This was a 5 gallon batch, I cut out half a pound of crystal 40 and half a pound of crystal 60

I ended up being this beer yesterday (technically). I was a bit disappointed add I did not hit my predicted numbers. OG of 1.042. We will see how it turns out.

This gives me hope, I did something similar today I was shocked to see 1.042 gravity reading. I hope mine turns out like yours. Mine was my first AG batch and it was biab at that. The great thing about this hobby is you don't waste much money on grains if you dump it and you won't kill anyone if...

I appreciate your input, I will change up the hop schedule, but I'm kind of stuck on the grain bill for this one. What would you suggest with the hops listed? What's in the list is all the hops I have on hand.

I am going to brew this recipe tomorrow. Let me know what you think. 13 lbs 2 row 1 lb crystal 40 1 lb crystal 60 .5 lb midnight wheat I plan to mash at 154 for 45 min. Hops will be: 1oz citra@60 min 1oz cascade@60 min 1oz Amarillo@30 min 1oz Citra@FO 1oz Citra dry hopped 10 days 1oz Amarillo...
