Notes
Kind of a Pliny the Elder clone with the ingredients I had. I used 9 ounces of Cascade homegrown hops and added them to the mash. This has more hops than Bugs Bunny. Mashed at 150F for 90 minute. Sparged at 170 F for 1 hour. Ended up with more wort than I aimed for so I did a 2 hour boil to get my brix higher. Ended up with 10 to 10.5 gallons with Brix of 18 % Should be 10% or so alcohol. Used a Blichmann chiller to chill to 70F used oxygen to aerate , pitched my Wyeast American Ale II and placed on a dog heater pad.
