Recipe:
10 lbs 2 Row Pale Ale
Summit and Chinook Hops
Steeped @ 5 Gal
Had another 2.5 gals on hand (steep temp)
2:15 - turned propane cooker onto highest settings. Waited for 150 F
2:35 hit 175
Began steep of 10 lbs grain
Once done: Poured 2 gals of hot water over grains to extract more sugars.
4:00 Began boil with 6 gal:
Hops - 4 oz Summit, 2oz Chinook
60 min 2oz Summit
30 min 2oz Summit
5 min 2oz Chinook
5:00 Flame out @ 5.25 gal
Original Gravity: (hydrometer) 1.034 with a pot abv of 4.9
This batch was steeped at 200 F for almost half the mash. There was some difficulty maintaining the 150-175 range with the flame on. Next time will cut the flame, cover the pot, and let sit while stirring and watching the temp. This may have released some undesirable flavors.
