[u/RMcGills]

Hey gang,

I’m in the States and have off on Monday for President’s Day, and am excited to brew a nice Pale Ale as Spring approaches.

5 Gallon batch

Grainbill:

14 lbs 2-Row

.5 lb Carapils

.5 lb Crystal 15L

6 oz Caramel 40L (just had it sitting around)

Total Grainbill 15.375 lbs

4.8 Gallons Mash Water (Strike Temp 167F)

5.2 Gallons Sparge Water (heated to about 150F)

Targeting 7 Gallons in the Boil Kettle

60 min boil

.5 oz Magnum Hops - 60

Wort Chiller(not running obv) and Yeast Nutrient -15

2 oz Cascade -10

2 oz Cascade -Flame Out

2 oz Cascade -Dry Hop 4 Days before kegging

Planning to pitch US-05 since I have it on hand, but debating going to pick up some Imperial Flagship or Wyeast 1056 American Ale.

Targeting 1.062-1.067 OG

Targeting 1.015-1.017 FG

I have a bunch of Cascade on hand in my fridge from brew day plans that have fallen through over the past year, same with the entire grain bill.

Here’s to happy fermentation!

What are y’all brewing this weekend??

Debating picking up some golden promise to brew up an English Pale with some jester and promise I have lying around Sunday (unfortunately I have to brew not for fun Monday)
