I have to brew this batch between two 5 gallon pots since I don't have a 10 gallon pot. I am very pleased with how this turned out. It's crystal clear, and even being young and at 12%, there is little to no alcohol taste (though it's still present on the nose). I plan on aging it in the bottle until Christmas.
MASH 1.5 HOURS at ~148 degrees, SPARGE up to 18 Liters
9 lbs. 2-row
1 lb. Amber Malt
.5 lb. Special B Malt
1 lb. Dark Brown Sugar
8 lbs Extra Light DME
2 oz. Warrior @ FWH
1 oz. Simcoe @ 20 min.
1 oz. Amarillo @ 10 min.
2 oz. Centennial @ 5 min.
(Next time I might move up all my hop additions 10 mins. to increase the bitterness)
4 Packets S-05 yeast + 2 liter starter
I'm not sure if I have the brewing fortitude to wait 7 months to drink it. It taste very good right now, which makes me think it will be MIND bending down the road.
I have a 2.6 gallon oak barrel that I put 1/2 my batch in for a month. This was my first time using a barrel, and I was pleasantly surprised with how well it rounded out the beer with chocolate and vanilla flavors.
