Mash Steps
Add 16.20 qt of water at 158.0 F 152.1 F 75 min
Sparge Step: Remove grains, and prepare to boil wort
Mash Notes: Brew in a bag method where the full boil volume is mashed within the boil vessel and then the grains are withdrawn at the end of the mash. No active sparging is required. This is a medium body beer profile.
11/20/2012: Brewed up this bad boy. Everything went off pretty smoothly. Hit most numbers, wort smells great. Easy going.
12/7/2012: Dropped in the chest freezer to clear out at 35*.
12/13/2012: Force carbed at 35 PSI for a day.
12/14/2012: Keg is tapped. Think I could have carbed it up a bit more but at this point I'm feeling lazy. Smells great! All kinds of citrusy, fruity goodness. Clean taste, nice bitterness, slight caramel sweetness. It's not overpowering on the hop flavor but you get more of what comes through in the nose. Has a bit of a British vibe going on with the British Ale II yeast but that's what I had laying around. Nice light copper color, little to no head but that is probably more of a lack of carbonation thing than the recipe. By today's standards it's a bit light on the bitterness for an IPA but I like it.
If I do it again I would switch to an American yeast, do a dry hop and maybe up the bittering addition. Otherwise pretty tasty, kind of an American-British IPA cross.
