Notes

10/4/2017: This is a very simple and cheap pale ale with a small boil for brewing demonstration at the Green Bay Rackers booth at the 2017 Northeast Wisconsin Craft Beer Show. It's made a simple specialty grain soak extract beer. Should be very flavorful without being filling.

10/6/2017: OG was 1.053 with 3.5 gallons of wort
Notes: This beer was SUPER easy to make, I could have knocked it out in less than two and a half hours had I not been talking with people and moving around the show. The ice bath in the tote worked well, I just stuffed it in there and left it stirring once and a while. Started at 5pm and got it in the fermenter and the yeast pitched by 8:30p. Didn't lose as much wort as planned from boil off, had to keep the pot partially covered to keep a strong boil on the induction cook top. It got the job done well enough though! I look forward to using this one for many more demos in the future!

10/12/2017: Took the first sample today. Fementation is practically complete and beer is beginning to clear. Seems to be turning out to be a nice flavorful dry pale ale. Dry hopped with one ounce of Simcoe hops, should add some nice aroma to the beer. FG looks like 1.005, that attenuation tho :) Looks like a nice 6.3% ABV, a little high but I don't mind. US-05 for me has been consistently hitting 1.008 and lower in most of my beers lately. Re-hydrating and pitching a large amount of this yeast seems to bump down the fg by a couple points more often then not. I'm very happy with this result! I could probably do with using a little less hops but it's still a bit early to tell.

10/15/2017: Moved to chamber to cold crash. Plan to bottle within the next couple days.

10/17/2017: Bottling day, FG is steady at 1.005. Bottled conditioned with a target of 2.4 volumes of C02. Used about 1.7oz corn sugar in about a cup of water for priming solution. Simcoe might be strange but it might be good! Bottled 29 12oz bottles. 43FC
