I did my first 10 gallon bath yesterday and got to use my new wort chiller, the 5/10 split from more beer, for the first time as well. Now I have a keggle and a wort chiller all thanks to the best wife ever!
The recipe was meant to be an APA:
5 lbs 2 row
4lbs Vienna
1 lbs crystal 60
.8 lbs maltodextrin
6.6 lbs light lme. I need a bigger mash tun!
I mashed the grain with 3.5 pounds of water at 152 and mashed out with 3 gallons. I also added 6 gallons of water to the kettle
Hops were:
1 oz northern brewer 8.6% AA 60 min
1 oz whole leaf centennial 10.3% AA 30 min
1 oz whole leaf centennial 10.3% AA 5 min
I hit my OG spot on at 1.050 and ended up with 5.25 gallons in each bucket. My expected FG is 1.012 which should produce a 5% ABV beer. I used safale 04 in one bucket and us-05 in the other.
What does everyone think of my recipe? I ended up with an extra ounce of whole leaf centennial. Should I dry hop either/both? I can always pick up other hops too.
