IPA Recipe

This is the IPA I made this past saturday. Pretty basic, yield was about 10.5 gallons.
20 Lbs. Muntons Perle 2-row
3 lbs Weyerman Light Munich
1 lb. Crystal 60L
1.5 oz Nugget (14% AA) at 60 min
1.5 oz. Centennial (8.6% AA) at 40 min
1.5 oz. Centennial (8.6% AA) at 20 min
2 oz. Amarillo (9.8% AA) at 5 min.
2 oz. Amarillo (9.8% AA) at flame out
2 Whirlfloc tabs
3 packs US-05 pitched at 62 deg.
Mashed at 155-156 for an hour. Fly sparged to about 12 gallons in the kettle, 1 hour boil. OG was 1.075 for about 89% efficiency. Aerated wort then pitched at 62 deg, less than 12 hour lag. Going crazy right now in the conical. Smells great too. Cheers!

Saison, etc.

Been a while, thought I'd post a picture of the saison:

Its pretty good, certainly a lot different yeast character than I am used to. Quite estery, spicy. I like it, thats pretty much all that matters.


The wheat ale I made recently was a big hit on the camping trip. It too turned out alright, although I think I killed the yeast when I tried to cool down fermentation temps. But it was good.
This weekend I made 11 gallons (or so) of my house IPA to stock up for winter. Went really well, ended up with an og of 1.075, worked out to about 89% efficiency. Wow! Cheers.
