|||||||
| Mash: | 70% efficiency | |||||||

| 1 tsp. Irish Moss at 30 min. | ||||||||

| Log: | Primary fermentation at 65°F for low esters. Estimated time: 1 week. Secondary planned for 2 weeks minimum at same temp. |
|||||||
| Carbonation: | 2.5 volumes | Keg: 28.8 psi @ 70°F | ||||||
| Tasting: | Primary fermentation was very active, I would highly sugest a blow- off tube to anyone repeating this recipe. Color and flavor were almost right-on with the original when I racked to the secondary. 11/20/03 Bottled half of the batch and kegged the other half. Very pleased with the results. Next time I will try a warmer mash for a fuller mouth feel. 12/1/03 Once the beer was cooled and carbonated the mouth feel was much improved. I am extremely happy with these results and wouldn't change anything with this recipe. As a variation of this recipe I might try dry hopping it next time with Fuggles in the secondary. |
