Batch 299, Amber Ale

 Back in Baja, first brew. It went pretty well, overall. I was going to brew on Thursday, but there was a water leak on Wednesday, which took until Friday to fix. Anyway, it was a good brew day, volumes and numbers came out as expected.

5 gallon batch

12 lb 2-row

8 oz crystal 60

4 oz biscuit

2 oz chocolate

I forgot to take a temp on the mash, but the mash water was at 170F, so I'm guessing I hit mid-150s. I did not adjust the pH, all I have here is the little test strips and they don't seem accurate at all. Did math, collected 6.5 gallons.

60 minute boil

1 oz Mosaic, 12.5% AA, 60 min

1 oz Mosaic, 12.5% AA, 5 min

0.8 oz Citrs, 12%AA, 5 min

That's the last of the Citra that I have, hence the odd amount.

Wyeast 1272 that I brought down to Baja from my last brew.

Since water is at a premium here, I didn't chill, rather, I filled the fermenter bucket and put it in the freezer over night, then pitched this morning.
