Introducing a couple guys from my brew club to all grain on Sunday. Ten gallons of imperial ipa going in the books.
Since I do not have the ingredients for the brew I had wanted to do today, and the LHBS is closed on Sundays, I think I am going to throw a quick 5 gallon something together.
Looking at what I have in stock I think I will just have fun and do a light simple
8 Lbs 2-row
12 oz Crystal 40
with Cascade (i have a lot) at 1 oz for FWH, and .5 oz at 10 and flameout.
Looks like I have some S-04 so will use that.
Should turn out to be about 3.7%
I figure I will start brewing in about an hour. Thoughts?
Sounds like a good clean sipper. something to keep your yeast busy until u get to the shoppe!Since I do not have the ingredients for the brew I had wanted to do today, and the LHBS is closed on Sundays, I think I am going to throw a quick 5 gallon something together.

According to Beersmith, 29 IBU, color 4.7, est abv 4.1%
If you want a bit more color and flavor, you could take a bit of the 2-row, say 1/2 pound and roast in the oven (a thin layer) @ 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. If it were me, I'd also up the IBU a bit. For example, Yooper's Pale Ale uses all cascade and is a crowd favorite here on HBT. It's schedule is:
1 oz @ 60
.75 oz @ 30
1 oz @ 10
.5 oz @ 5
.5 oz @ 0
1 oz dry hop.

OG: 1.061
TG: 1.012
AB: 6.3%
Initial mash vol. 16L
Top up at end of mash: 5L
Batch (2): 13L
Batch sparge method: Mash all grain at 67C for 1 hour in 16L of water.
Top up after 1 hour with 5L of 80C water. Mix well and leave settle for 15 mins
Drain and recirculate until runnings are clear.
Drain first batch to boiler.
Add 2nd batch of water, 13L at 80C. Mix well and leave settle for 15 mins
Drain, recirculate until runnings are clear
Drain 2nd batch to boiler
All I have to say is good luck.. takes a good 4.5 - 5 hours to complete. Make sure you have extra sparge water ready. You can use it on the second sparge. Look up hybrid fly sparge. It will save you a little time.
