Equipment and Ingredients

I brewed my first batch on Friday - all extract - and these are the following observations I made and was hoping some of you experts out there can tell me if the batch is hosed or not. 1) I had a problem with heat retention. My temp was between 206 - 210. The max. temp I achieved was 210...

All - Thanks for the replies.

Total batch size is 5 gal. Initial boil is 2 gal for 60 minutes. The OG = 1.045.

According to Palmer's book you can calculate the AAU's by multiplying the % and weight. So my Galena hops are 10.1% and the recipe calls for 6 AAU's. I plan to add .6 oz. When I plugged these values into beer smith it came out at 1.2 AAU. Can someone explain to me the discrepancy?

Thanks for the info khiddy - I figured my time line was aggressive.....I will definitely check out the recipe!

Thanks Bobby - nice to know some good resources are available. I have just read most of Palmer's book and will be starting out with his extract recipe for the pale ale to get my feet wet. Jason

Thanks for the welcome and the insight....I am in the North Brunswick area for those that asked...

Just wanted to say Hi as I am new to the board and to home brewing. I have just finished reading some literature and am in the process of creating my batch record for my first adventure. Hopefully in two weeks I will have my ingredients and will be celebrating Independence Day with my first home...
