Notes

Steep grains in 3 qt tap H2O. at 160/150 (actually ran temp up to 170 on accident according to thermometer, though this candy thermo appears to register 10F high).

Boil size app 2.25 gallons, ought to be 2.4 per recipe (need bigger kettle), added DME near boiling point. Accidentally tossed in some of the flavoring hops at 60 minutes, not off to the best start.

Added flavoring hops and Irish moss and extract at 15 minutes.

Aroma hops as the pot was put into iced sink. Pitched the malt "tea" directly into the primary, did not add to boil as suggested in recipe - would probably have overflowed.

Pitched yeast at about 78F, put in Anny's room.

OG 1.044

Removed from Anny's room following day, put next to wall heater, maintained about 70F, rotating bucket. Kept in primary 4 days, racked to secondary, moved to tool room, app 65F.

Dry hopped in a cheesecloth dangling from the airlock, for two days, removed sack.

Bottled on April 24. Wort is amazing. Unfortunately, only 4.5 gallons, or 26 bottles.

4 of 5

This was adopted from a Sierra Nevada clone, and I am quite happy with the end results. It was not as crisp as I'd expected, especially the aroma, which didn't leap out and welcome my nose, no matter what temperature nor glass was used for serving. Might try dry-hopping a little later in secondary, and leaving them in a touch longer. Or perhaps dropping the pellets into the carboy for a few days and then filtering. Other than that, balance between malt and hops was nice, and the beer was notably stronger than indicated (would be nice if we could input actual gravity readings).
