This recipe is big for a non IPA. 7 lb 10 oz 2 row, 1 lb honey malt, 5 lbs honey, 1 oz German Mandarina Bavarian hop for 60 min to bitter, 1 oz same hop for 1 minute for aroma.
Mash efficiency extremely high, 7.5 gallon preboil at 1.040, after boiling with honey addition at 45 minute mark, 6 gallons into fermenter at 1.065. I was hoping for 6.5 gallons, but had to extend boiling time due to lost heat from the honey addition and again from adding wort chiller at ten minutes out...wanted to ensure copper was sanitized. I use a 110 heating element heat stick for boiling instead of propane.
Next time I'll preheat wort chiller, and perhaps preboil and store water for fermenter top off to hit exact target and volume.
oh, 1 pack Safale US-05rehydrated...fermentation active day after pitching.
