Batch 293, Belma Summer Ale

 Still forgetting to update this blog. This batch is done and gone, it was decent. I went with a simple brew to help me figure out my system here. I got a new grain mill, it turns out the gap was too wide, so I missed my numbers, 1.040 OG instead of 1.052. Oh well, it was a good beer anyway. I also ended up about a gallon short, so just under 4 gallons in the keg, which was a little disappointing.

5 gallon batch

12 lb 2-row

8 oz white wheat

6 oz crystal 60

Mashed at 148F, about the same as last time. Mash water was at 170F so I'll go a little higher next time to hit that mid-150F range that I'm aiming for.

2 oz Belma, 60 min

4 oz Belma, 5 min

This turned out pretty good, and it's all gone now.
