Did it look like water when you put it in the fermenter?
No but it did seem lighter than usualView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1435889864.007391.jpg

Why because it floated higher?
If it turned out close and its your first AG I'd say it was a success! Try it again when you have room in the keg or bottles available.
I like to make this beer because everyone likes it (even a few beer snob buddies), it finishes fast and is very refreshing as a summer beer. I think it is a bit sensitive to initial fermentation temps. Get it down to around 65-68F before pitching the yeast and then hold it there. It should turn out great.
Cheers!
I just bought enough flaked rice and maze to do 50 gallons of this recipe

You go bny. I like this one too and will likely keep it on tap for myself and friends since I'm in the process of a 6 tap keezer.
What am I saying. I've pretty much kept it on tap with my two tap kegorator, one tap fridge, and one picnic tap fermentor when nothing is fermenting.

Anyone done this with lager yeast at 60F steam beer style? I have a batch of american light lager going and kentucky common ale (Saflager23) thinking about reusing the yeast from one of these brews to make the 3 crops.
Second batch of this and very happy....
My first true to recipie batch was split with my Father-in-law who came to help on brew day. I enjoyed the beer, but got through my "half" way too quickly, with the customary one and two week bottling "samples"..... I found the finish a little short and craved a bit more bitterness.
So 6 gallon batch two is coming of age now with a total of 6oz of hops.
1oz hallertauer, 1oz cascade 60 mins
1oz hallertauer, 1oz cascade 15 mins
1oz hallertauer, 1oz cascade flameout/whirlpool 10 minutes.
While this might be a little hoppy for the style, it is quite refreshing to drink in July.... I suggest try it for a change-up. The hallertauer and cascade are low in AA's, but quite flavorful. This isn't too bitter imo.
Interested to try a sample of the father-in-law's remainder of the first batch to see if time has done it any favors, we brewed it May 16, bottled May 30!
Doing a 5 Gal tonight with .50oz Williamette @60,.25oz Hallertau @60,a tiny bit of leftover Amarillo and citra at flameout.
Here is a drop to 1 gallon assuming 65% efficiency:
1 lbs 4.0 oz .. 2-Row
7.0 oz ......... Corn, Flaked
2.0 oz ......... Rice
0.15 oz Crystal - Boil 60.0 min
0.15 oz Willamette - Boil 60.0 min
1.0 pkg US-05 Yeast
Good Luck,

I had a bumper crop of raspberries this year, so I secondaried my 5 gallons on somewhere between 3-4lbs of my berries. I froze the berries for 48 hours to kill off any wild yeast, then racked on top for 3 days after am 8 day primary.
The glass is sweating because it's humid as all get out right now. It's actually a very clear beer. I think I shall call this one Warrior's Blood.
This is one I'm probably most proud of at this point. It's got a big raspberry nose, solid tart berry flavor, and a crisp dry finish.
I did the following Grain Bill:
4lb 2 row
4lb 6 row
1lb flaked maize
14oz box of Minute Rice
1 cup of table sugar in the mash
Yeast:
Good ole US-05.
Hops:
1 oz cascade whole leaf, locally grown
1 oz of German Hallertauer whole leaf.
Priming Sugar:
Local Honey to 2.3vols
Estimated 4.9% ABV
