Batch 314, A Slightly different pale ale

 I thought I might do a Panama Red, which I haven't done in a long time, but I don't really have the right stuff. This should be somewhat similar, a little darker than what I've been doing lately.

10 gallon batch

19.5 lb 2-row, now I'm out

8 oz crystal 60

4 oz chocolate

Mashed at 152F, adjusted pH to 5.3, the usual batch sparge and recirc for 10-15 minuted each batch. Collected 12.5 gallons in the boil kettle.

1 oz Cascade, FWH

2 oz Centennial, 60 min

2 oz Cascade, 15 min (with 2 tsp Irish moss)

2 oz Cascade, flameout

60 minute boil.

Yeast is the same WP-01 I've been using in previous batches. (I just checked, it's actually WLP-01, California Ale.)

OG: 1.052 actual

Batch 313, Can you believe it?

 Yes, indeed! Yet another pale ale. This one is a actual SMASH beer (single malt and single hop). All Amarillo on this one.

10 gallon batch

20 lb 2-row

I thought about adding some crystal or chocolate for color, I even considered adding a little Special B just because I have some. But I stuck with just the 2-row this time. The grain is from Rahr.

Mashed at 150F, pH adjusted to 5.27. I was aiming for a slightly lower mash temp for a drier beer.

All Amarillo hops, 9.8% AA:

1 oz FWH

2 oz 60 minutes

1 oz 15 minutes + 2 tsp Irish Moss

2 oz flameout

Due to conditions here, I do a minimal chill, then transfer to the fermenter in my chest freezer and let it sit overnight to get down to pitching temperature.

Reused the yeast from 2 batches ago.
