Notes

This is my First all Grain Beer. I love it!

Mash grains for 90 minutes at 150 degrees. ( lbs grain x 1.25/ 4 = mash water quanity). (sparge water= utilize 2 quarts water x lbs of grain/4 = amount of sparge water in hot liquor tank @ 170 degrees). Collect 6 gallons of wort. Add 1.5 ounces centennial hops and boil for 90 minutes, adding 1.5 ounces centennial hops after 30 minutes and 1.5 ounces of cascade hops after 80 minutes. Turn off heat, add 1.5 ounces cascade hops, and let steep for 5 minutes. Cool wort and pitch yeast. Ferment for 5 days and then transfer to secondary fermenter. Add 1.5 ounces simcoe hops and allow to ferment an additional 3 weeks. Bottle, using 3/4 cup corn sugar. Age 7 to 10 days.

Final Gravity was 1.013. anticipate a little bit more alcohol in final product. Initial Taste was very hoppy and a grapefruitty after taste.

This is the best beer I have ever made. Since i have only been doing this for 3 years i do not think that has much weight.:)
First Drink after conditioning: Beer has an initial dry taste with a grapefruit aftertaste as you swallow. A very drinkable beer and I look forward to brewing again.
