Imperial Stout Brewed on 6/16/09 First AG was very fun, but went ok, I hit about 61% efficiancy on my mash. I under shot the strike water and hit 150 instead of 152, it droped a little more during the mash too. then sparged with 180 degree water and might have extracted tanins I'm not sure though because I have never brewed AG. overall first mash could have gone better, but Im happy with it. After boiling and cooling wort I failed 3 siphon attempts (very frustrating) and just poured wort with trub into fermenter. NOTE TO SELF get a racking cane or mabye an auto siphon. Recipe: 10 lbs wyermans german pale malt 2 lbs wyermans dark munich 1 lb wyermans british crystal malt 49-64 Lov 1 lb brown sugar 4 lb can of edme extra stout extract syrup(prehopped) 2 oz fuggle hops 4%alpha (60min) 2 oz northern brewer hops 7.7%alpha (60min) 1 tsp Irish moss(15min) 2 pcks Wyeast london ale(pitched into 85* wort. should have cooled it more) _____________________ OG 1.090 currently in primary and will remain for 2 months |
