| OG: | 1.067 | FG: | 1.010 | |||||
| Alcohol: | 7.4% v/v (5.8% w/w) | |||||||
| Water: | I used bottled spring water. | |||||||
| Grain: | .5 lb. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils) 1 lb. Rolled oats 2 lb. Rye (raw) |
|||||||
| Mash: | 75% efficiency | |||||||
| I used the pic-nic cooler method.Took a 5 gal. cooler,put my grains in a muslin bag,& dumped 170° H2O on top of them.I watched the the temp.closely w/a digital thermometer. If the temp. drops use your sparge H2O to heat it back up again.Keep it @ 155° for 1 hr.then drain wort,dump in sparge H2O & drain,add all to the brew pot & run through 1 more time. | ||||||||
| Boil: | 60 min. minutes | SG 1.134 | 2.5 gallons | |||||
| 6.6 lb. Light malt extract | ||||||||
| Hops: | 1 oz. Perle (8% AA, 60 min.) 1.5 oz. Hallertauer (4.25% AA, 30 min.) 1 oz. Saaz (3.75% AA, 30 min.) 1 oz. Saaz (aroma) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | I used Wyeast 1056 | |||||||
| Log: | Pitched yeast when it was 70° & saw high krausen in 16 hrs.Let the wee-beasties do their thang for 12 days @ 68° & kegged. | |||||||
| Carbonation: | I forced carb. @ 2.5 v.CO2 | |||||||
| Tasting: | Nice head retention & Belgian lace,due to the oatmeal.Light amber in color.Most importantly it tastes soooooo smooth & it's extremely drinkable.Almost too much so,I'm about 1/2 in the bag.The rye adds a nice dry finish,like a good pale,but not as bitter. A final note,the O.G. was only 1.050 |
