Taste Notes

Entered into 2013 QUAFF America's Finest City Homebrew Competition. Took 1st in the Brown Ale Category and 2nd in the Porter Category.

Notes

Mash: Mashed in to low (aprox 149). Topped up with boiling water. Mash temp was 152 at bottom of tun & 156 at the top of the tun. Mash out was too low (162F-165F). Took too long. Just recirculated and sparged. Boil: Overshot gravity. Pre-boil was 1.061. Added 1oz hop addtion at 45 minutes to compensate for increased sweetness. Fermentation: Chilled to 65F Collected aprox 5 gallons each carboy and pitched a 2l starter of WLP002 (stir plate) into each carboy. Each carboy had at least 90 seconds of pure O2. 10/28/12 - Slow start as fermentation temp slowly rose 65 in the morning to 68 at night. Krausen and some airlock activity began 14 hours after pitching (PM).
