Mash thickness: 2.0 qt/lb. Strike temp 164.0 F, Grains lowered Mash to 158.0 F, Temp after 60 min 148.0 F.

Once boil started added 1oz citra pellet hops & added drippings from bucket 15 minutes later.
Flameout cooled to 163.0 F added 1oz citra pellet hops and stirred to simulate a whirlpool, continued cooling to 75.0 F. Stirred vigorously 2 minutes in kettle. Poured into plastic bottling bucket/fermenter. Shook 1 minute. O.G. 1.040.

Pitched Safale US-05 @ 72.4 F. Brew belt set to 70.0 F. 15 days later added 1oz whole leaf Citra hops (used hop bag).

5 days after dry hopped drained into a bottling bucket and mixed with 3.9oz dextrose to prime. F.G. 1.008. Yielded 43 bottles. Storeage temp ranged from 66.0 F to 69.5 F

Served 14 days after bottling. Total time 5 weeks.

My 1st BIAB brew. It's a good sessionable pale ale. I'm going to brew it again tomorrow, but this time with the Rahr 2-row instead. On a side note, I'm down to only 4 bottles left.
