Brewed a batch of beer yesterday, and old ale. I didn't hit my gravity, which really bummed me out. I was shooting for a gravity of 1.080 and I hit 1.056 - must of been the pre-crushed malt AGAIN that I didn't want to waste and I used. I NEED a grain mill and to buy uncrushed malt and crush it when I need it. I am glad I had my hydrometer to adjust the hops.
I used my pacific gem hops. They are supposed to have a black currant and florally aroma according to what I have read. I guess this is kind of an experient beer to see how I like the Pacific Gem hops and the 1 cup of molasses in the old ale. I used US56 yeast instead of my WY1272 starter, which I felt better to not use since it was going to be about the 5th or 6th time of using that yeast. Better safe than sorry I want the beer to turn out good. I typically don't brew during the week, but I had 3 empty fermenters and I wanted to fill one up. |
