Notes

My preboil gravity was 1.042, off from the 1.036 calculated here.

SRM for the 2021 style guidelines is a little too dark (mine 16 vs max of 14). The 2020 guidelines were up to 18 at the top range, so who knows?

Mash was a constant 153° but some recipe directions call for an increase in temp towards 168 at the end. Those directions also call for a 90 minute boil with the first hop addition at t-60.

Used a combo of S-04 and US-05 yeast. Depending on how flavor comes out can adjust as necessary for more dryness vs more maltiness.

Served it at a St. Patrick's Day block party and most everyone loved it - including those who don't typically prefer ales (Dani Levin and later BB). I think it was the partial use of US 05, the 10-day fermentation, along with the very cool fermentation temps for an ale (low 60s).

Recipe costs can be adjusted by changing the batch size. They won't be saved but will give you an idea of costs if your final yield was different.
