Batch 318! Panama Red!!

 Finally! I have the stuff to make Panama Red! My wife and I took an extended RV trip, so we were gone about 6 weeks. That last batch is so good! I picked up some additional ingredients on our trip, so some new, fresh hops, and some new yeast. I was able to get both White Labs WLP001 and some Wyeast 1272. The 1272 is my preferred yeast for Panama Red.


10 gallon batch


25 lb 2-row

1 lb crystal 60

4 oz chocolate malt


That's a couple of extra pounds of 2-row, but that finished out what I have on hand. Mashed at 154F, adjusted pH to 5.3.


2 oz Mt Hood, FWH

2 oz Magnum, 60 min

2 oz Cascade, 30 min

2 oz Cascade, 5 min

2 oz Mt Hood, 5 min


I figured out a better way to chill so I was able to get the wort down to about 115F in the fermenter. I'll let it chill overnight and pitch in the morning.
