Batch 307, berry cider

Copy and paste from batch 305... same-o, same-o 

I made a cider along with making batch 306, and as usual, forgot to write anything down about it. This is the usual recipe:


11 cans frozen apple juice

1 gallon wort from batch 306

water to make 4 gallons


To get the 1 gallon of wort, after draining the mash tun into the boil kettle, I scoop out the grain into a double bucket, the inner bucket has holes drilled into the bottom so the wet grain drains into the outer bucket. This almost always gives me right at a gallon of wort that would otherwise be tossed into the trash. 


Batch 306, another anonymous pale ale

 Just another pale ale, non-descript, nothing special, except for the little screw-up at the end.


10 gallon batch


20 lb pils

1 lb white wheat

.5 lb crystal 60

1 oz chocolate


Mashed with 8 gallons, adjusted pH to 5.3. Batch sparge, 12 gallons in boil kettle.


All Cascade hops again since I still have a couple of pounds of them.

1 oz FWH

3 oz 60 minutes

1 oz 20 minutes

2 oz flameout, except when I was all done and cleaning up, I found the bag of flameout hops sitting on the work bench.


Wyeast 1272 , 2 new packs.


Since I forgot the flameout hops, I added them 4 days later as dry hops.
