Notes

Mash in at 145 for 60 mins then 155 10 mins.

90 min boil.

Ferment at 63 f for 3 days then rise to 66 to finish out.

Whirlpool for 30 minutes. Then chill so hops are there for 45 mins total. Whirlpool temp around 195.

Dry hopping. First dry hop after close to terminal. Let it sit 3 days then dump. Then add second dry hop. Let it sit another 3 days.

Use Rahr for 2 row. Caramalt and carastan are the same.

RO water. Adjust with gypsum.

For first brew I changed WLP002 to Imperial pub.

Pre boil gravity 1054. Post boil 1061. Added 4.5 oz Pale Ale DME (all I had) to raise gravity slightly. Very poor efficiency (55%) - not sure if due to the small batch adapter I added to the malt pipe, or because I did not lift and rake the grain bed at all (I only had the recirc pump going at a slow rate as the mash in the pipe was very thick so I didn't want to remove too much water).

Cooled to 74 then moved to fermenter. Tilt showed gravity at 1067. Cooled to 68 then pitched yeast.

Total fermentation time was 2 week’s including 6 days of dry hopping. Final gravity 1013 measure with hydrometer. Taste on kegging was sharp bitterness but lots of fruity aroma from hops. It should soften in keg.
