here's the recipe:
10# 2-Row
2# Vienna
12 oz. 40L
4oz Melanoidin
Mash was a bi**c, could not hold temp in my crap cooler in the cool weather we had today. Took close to three hours, with lots of extra boiling water and a few "decoction" drainings/heatings just to keep the mash temp aboce 150*. Very annoying.
And follow that with a stuck sparge. Not too surpising.
Finally, it was time to boil.
1oz Cluster 60 min
.5oz Wilamette 30 min
.25oz Fuggles 15 min
.25oz NZ Styrian Goldings @ flameout
Just the hops I had on hand. Haven't measured FG yet, but it's tasing pretty sweet. I'm guessing, with my low efficency and looooong mash, it'll be in the 1.060's?
Sorry for the vent. I started this 7 hours ago and thought it would be done in 5.
So....what did I make? I'm thinking it's either a hoppy amber, or a not-so-hoppy IPA. It's a bastardized version of EdWort's Haus Pale Ale that i just came up with off the top of my head while visiting a new (to me) LHBS that was absolutely no help in formulating a recipe.
