Lol...well... See, this is my first beer so it wasn't "perfect", especially with mashing. It was a partial mash, but I overshot some of the temps: Protien rest 130 (overshot), 30 min, extraction (155) 50 min, then raised temp to 172ish trying to halt conversion before boiling. Didn't do a conversion test, also forgot to take my original gravity. I was trying to do an old ale, o.g. 1.075, ibu's 39, final grav 1.020 (predicted). I'm thinking my o.g. was a bit higher because the predicted abv right now is about 6.6 % but it tastes higher for some reason (maybe fusel alcohol, I don't know). And if you're curious about the recipe: (random made up English Old Ale)
5 lb light DME (late extract boil 15 min)
2.5 lb light DME (60 min boil)
1 lb Weyermann Caramunich III (should have used caramel 60, maybe)
1 lb Maris Otter
.5 lb Aromatic Malt
.5 lb Cara-Pils
.75 oz Galena pellets 60 min
.25 Glacier (30 min), .25 Galena (20 min)
.25 Glacier (15 min), .25 Glacier (7 min)
.25 Glacier (0 min, flameout)
White Labs WLP005 (with .6 gallon starter)
Estimated O.G. 1.073, F.G. 1.020, 39.6 ibu's
I also added 20 min to my estimated boil cause it took a while to get the late extract DME in, but it wasn't technically boiling while I did it. And now that I think about it, this looks more like an extract recipe with a bit more "steeping" grains, but I tried to mash them instead of steeping them, still used a grain bag though.
