last night i brewed a brand new beer with the ingredients ive been putting together. should be a high alcohol hopefully a great tasting beer. i started out heating up my 3 gallons of water with my pound of special B in my steeping bag. once it hit 170 degrees i removed the bag and then brought it to a boil.
i then added 3 pounds of liquid malt extract(LME), 1 oz of warrior hops and 11oz of honey. this boiled for 60 minutes.
with 15 minutes left in the boil, i added 6 more pounds of LME. 2 oz of cascade hops and let the time run down to zero. were i then added the last oz of warrior hops.
got the temp down to about 80, added the 3 gallons of water and pitched my yeast from my last batch of IPA that i made. the yeast is safale 04 english style. i try to reuse yeast about 3 times to keep cost down unless i brew a totally different style. then ill change
into my tub encase of explosion. its happened. with the amount of fermentables in this batch aka sugar it should go crazy hence the tube out the top. it lets foam just run out instead of blow out the top and clog it with the airlock. im gonna let this sit for about two weeks then move it to my secondary fermenter where i might add one more ounce of hops but not sure yet. this is just the first try at this so the recipe might change a bit. cant wait to try this!!! lol escondido IPA!!!
