Hopefully this one will be awesome!
5 gallon batch
14 lb 2-row
12 oz white wheat
6 oz Crystal
Mashed at 149F, still lower than I was aiming for. Ambient temp is about 70F, mash water was at 170F. I'm mashing in a 10 gallon Igloo cooler.
2 oz Mosaic, 60 min
3 oz Mosaic, 10 min
60 minute boil.
Yeast cake from previous batch.
Still trying to make a decent beer here, and I think this one is finally it. I got about a pint of fresh yeast from my neighbors, and that seems to have made the difference.
5 gallon batch
10 lb 2-row
8 oz white wheat
4 oz black patent
4 oz chocolate malt
Mashed at 151F. I seem to hit mash temp a little lower than I expect, but no worries. Added a 1/2 tsp of phosphoric acid. Ran off 6.5 gallons to the boil kettle.
2 oz Saaz, 60 minutes
1 pint of safale 04 from my neighbors.
I'm behind on entering batch notes, so this just went on tap today. It tastes just fine, just as a brown porter should taste. Brewed a batch of IPA today, I'm going to reuse the yeast cake.
