You know its nice when things go well.
Today I put together a batch of amber ale. Its chilling on the stove now. Recipe is 9# of base malt, 1# of 60 crystal, 1# of carapils and 1 # of victory.
Hops are 1.25 oz centennial for 60 minutes, 1 oz cascade for 20 minutes and 0.5 oz of cascade for 5 minutes.
Mash temp was 155 (nice when it happens) and my spectrometer indicates 14.5 brix. Which I think will be over 1.055 when the wort is cool. I got a pack of safeale 05 ready when the wort is cool and aireated. Looks like about 6 gallons including the trub.
Happy holiday to all. Mike
