Taking Advantage

So the sun was out and there wasn't much going on last saturday, so I decided to brew 10 gallons of Pilsner IPA. I omitted the roasted barley, upped the munich to 3 lbs for 10 gallons. Actually, this was probably the smoothest session ever, I was done in under 6 hours, and that included a 90 minute boil. OG was 1.062, for about 75% efficiency, and I pitched 3 packs of US-05 at 60 degrees. Beer is fermenting nicely in the basement. I also moved the Helles into an extra fridge in the basement for lagering at 35 degrees for a month or so. Cheers!
