No Name Pale Ale

Just another excellent pale ale. No name.

Brewer: Big Shot Breweries Email: DynamytGuy@aol.com
Beer: No Name Pale Ale Style: English Pale Ale
Type: Extract w/grain Size: 5 gallons
Color:
17 HCU (~10 SRM)
Bitterness: 49 IBU
OG: 1.056 FG: 1.012
Alcohol: 5.6% v/v (4.4% w/w)
Water: I use Crystal Springs mountain spring water. My tap water has chloramines.
Grain: 8 oz. American crystal 20L
1 oz. Roasted barley
Steep: I steeped the grain at 155° for 35 minutes in a grain bag.
Boil: minutes SG 1.093 3. gallons
6 lb. Light dry malt extract
Hops: 1 oz. Fuggles (5.1% AA, 60 min.)
.6 oz. Perle (5.6% AA, 60 min.)
1 oz. Kent Goldings (5.6% AA, 45 min.)
1 oz. Fuggles (5.1% AA, 30 min.)
.5 oz. Kent Goldings (5.6% AA, 15 min.)
.5 oz. Kent Goldings (aroma)
Yeast: I brewed on short notice, so I used Munton's Gold dry yeast. I pitched 2 packs. It kicks butt.
Log: I have a problem keeping my fermentation temp below 75 degrees. This time I used a wet towel and put my fermenter in a pan of water. It kept it at 70 degrees. It spent 4 days in the primary and 6 days in the secondary. I guessed at the FG because I broke my hydrometer, again. It was 1.014 when I racked to the secondary.
Carbonation: I used 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle conditioned.
Tasting: I used the Perles just because they were in the freezer. I needed to use them up. It was a little more bitter than style, but I like it that way.
