Taste Notes
This is a delicious American-style Red ale that keeps the hops and malt characters in balance. There's something special, to me at least, about San Diego Super Yeast (WLP090), which ferments this beer out nice and clean though leaves just the right amount of residual sweetness. The flavor/aroma blend of Willamette and Cascade hops is killer.
1. Add 1 gallon of boiling water to MLT while heating strike water and preparing for the rest of your brew day.
2. Empty the water from the MLT and fill with strike water volume at a temperature 15-17 degrees above your desired mash temperature.
3. Allow ten minutes for the cooler to absorb the heat of the water. I have found that my cooler will absorb about 3-5 degrees of heat depending on the temperatures in my house. Furthermore, when I mash in my grain willI steal about 12 degrees of heat (this number has been very consistent for me). Try to shoot for a slightly higher temperature. If I am above my temperature, I can stir the water around to cool it without having add any additional water. (After a ten minute rest and a few spins of the spoon, I am ready to mash in)Notes
