Closing Day IPA

My goal here is to get at least 50 % of my gravity from the mash
and make up the rest with extract. I live by my hydrometer so
volumes are aproximated and gravities are exact.

Brewer:	Kevin R. Gallagher		Email:	-
Beer:	Closing Day IPA		Style:	India Pale Ale
Type:	Partial mash		Size:	5.5 gallons
Color:	14 HCU (~9 SRM)		Bitterness:	54 IBU
OG:	1.060		FG:	1.015
Alcohol:	5.9% v/v (4.6% w/w)
Water:	I added 1 tablespoon of Burton Water Salt to the two gallons of mash water. There are no other water treatments.
Grain:	5.5 lb. British pale .25 lb. American Vienna 1 lb. American crystal 40L
Mash:	70% efficiency
	Mashed at 150° with two gallons of water for 1 hour. Sparged with 170° water until gravity dropped to 1.010. Total volume of extract collect was aproximatiely 4 gallons.
Boil:	45 minutes	SG 1.055	6 gallons
	3 lb. Light malt extract 1 lb. Light dry malt extract
	Brought the gravity up to 1.055 with a volume of water equal to 6 gallons.
Hops:	1 oz. Chinook (12% AA, 45 min.) 1 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 30 min.) 1 oz. Fuggles (4.75% AA, 15 min.) 1 oz. Cascade (aroma) 1 oz. Fuggles (aroma)
Yeast:	I made a 1 pint starter using extract and water to match a gravity of 1.060. I pitched White Labs yeast Dry English Ale (WLP007) and White Labs yeast English Ale (WLP002) at 70° and allowed to rest 6 hours then pitched.
Log:	Brewed 04/06/2002. Yeat pitched at 8:00 PM. Due to an equipment failure, I lost a gallon of wort, so I am only fermenting about four and a half gallons rather than five and a half. I keep my house cold at about 65° so that will be the fermentation temperature. Dry Hop with 1 oz Fuggles on 04/13/2002 (1 week.) Rack to secondary fermenter on 04/20/2002 (1 weeks) and dry hop with 1 oz cascade. Bottle when gravity reaches 1.015.
Carbonation:	1.8 volumes	Dried Malt Extract: 4.31 oz. for 5.5 gallons @ 65°F
	I actually used 3.5 oz of light DME to prime my 4.5 gallon batch, but I have included the calculation for the original batch size of 5.5 gallons.
Tasting:	A real winner. Good and hoppy, but well balanced. I think this is my best beer yet. I will replace the Fuggles with Cascade next batch. I want to try to get a little more hop flavor.
