Notes

New recipe - version 2.0

Working with a base recipe for red x ale. Adding honey for finish and flaked corn for ABV and a lighter feel.

Having a bit of a problem. Original gravity 1.06 which is close enough. Finishing at 1.03 which is 'way higher than planned.

Adding Amylase to assist with starch conversion. Keeps stalling out at 1.03.

Amylase definitely helped. after two weeks primary and two secondary it seems to have bottomed out at about .1.023. I will work on water chemistry for the next batch but it tastes great and at 5% +/- it is a nice ale.
