I brewed up an orange cascade pale ale. First full boil partial mash. Went fairly successful. Definitely need tp work on my process and buy a cooler.
 
I brewed on Saturday but it was my first brew in 9 years. I did an all-grain American Pale Ale. I know I converted but I'm not sure how efficient my mash was...I topped off the carboy with about 1.5 gallons of Spring Water and tried to agitate the carboy before I took the sample but I think my sample was diluted because the gravity of my sample was way low (then I remembered about getting bad gravity readings when I top off the carboy like this:eek:). The color seems about right and I had 1 bubble/10 seconds within about 4-6 hours of pitching...and better than 1 bubble/second when I woke up the next day. Stayed at about the same rate all day then slowed a bit last night...this morning it's at about 1 bubble/8 seconds.

I may have gone a tiny bit too far with the hops but we'll see. I thought my Cascade hops were 5% but later realized they are 7%...woopsie.

Pils this Saturday! Then Oatmeal Stout the next Saturday!:ban:
