Batch 312, even more of the same

 Still going with simple, single hop recipes. These have all been delicious, but I think the Cascade version is the best. So here it is again!

10 gallon batch

20 lb 2-row

.5 lb crystal 60

Mashed at 155F, adjusted pH to 5.3, collected 12.5 gallons in the boil kettle. I did 13 gallons last time, and had more than would fit in the kegs and more yeast/trub than would fit in 3 quart jars.

60 minute boil with all Cascade hops:

1 oz FWH

2 oz 60 min

2 oz 15 min + Irish Moss

2 oz flameout

I still don't have a good way to chill the wort, so it went into the fermenter at about 165F and will pitch the yeast tomorrow.

24 Dec 2025: pitched the yeast, 2 jars from last batch. I forgot to get an OG reading, but it will still be beer.

Batch 311, more pale ale!

 Here's another one, just like the other one, all Chinook this time.

10 lb batch

20 lb 2-row

.5 lb Crystal 60

Mashed at 155F, adjusted pH to 5.3. Recirc 15 minutes first batch, 10 minutes 2nd batch. Collected 13 gallons in the boil kettle.

All Chinook, 12.6% AA

1 oz FWH

2 oz 60 minutes

2 oz flameout

Reused yeast from last batch, one jar.

Update 4 Dec 2025, I don't see any yeast activity, there probably is, but I went ahead an pitched a second jar of yeast.

Update 5 Dec 2025, lots of yeast activity today.
