First, big thanks for all of the knowledge I have picked up here on HBT!
The first AG brew day seems to be a success. Wanted to make a honey-brown-ish ale:
8lbs Rahr 2 row
1lb Crystal 60
1lb Honey malt
1lb victory malt
1oz Sterling @60
1oz Sterling @15
2lbs Honey @flameout.
Mashed at 152 - 154 depending on where I measured. 3.5 Gallons strike water
Batch sparged with 5 gallons split into 2 infusions at 185
Collected a little over 6 Gallons wort*
OG 1.071 Whoah, nice. Its not terribly brown, more goldish-red, meh.
Boil and chill were uneventful, pitched Safale 04 at 75. bubbling happy this am.
* Should have collected a little more. Ended up with just over 5 (like 5.1 Gallons).
