Directions | I performed a 60 minute mash with half of the total water, approximately 3.6 gallons. The target mash temperature was 146 F. I then did a single batch sparge with the remaining water. Boil for 60 minutes adding bittering hops at start of boil. With 10 minutes remaining in boil add cane sugar. Once boil completes add remaining hops and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Cool and pitch yeast once wort reaches 62 F. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fermentation notes | Fermented around 62-64 F. Once krausen dropped and gravity was close to final, I added the dry hops (loose pellets,) for 4 days. Originally, I had planned to use only 1 oz for dry hopping but I suspected the first ounce had an off odor so I opened another bag. Both hops were determined good and not wanting to waste good hops both were added to fermenter. After dry hopping I bottled with a CO2 target of 2.6 volumes. A note on the yeast. I used BRY-97 American West Coast by Lellamand that was several months past expiration date. I made a 2 liter starter and saved 1 liter for later and pitched the remaining 1 liter decanted. I had a strong fermentation from the relatively fresh yeast and got better than expected attenuation as the recipe was designed to finish at 1.013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
