pSN Celebration try #1

I really wanted to use a slurry of Wyeast 2112 that I had ready.
I know it isn't the correct yeast for this style, but its
flavor profile doesn't hurt this beer. Any neutral yeast would probably work well.

Brewer:	tony		Email:	tzara@ncsbn.org
Beer:	pSN Celebration try #1		Style:	American Pale Ale
Type:	All grain		Size:	5 gallons
Color:	21 HCU (~12 SRM)		Bitterness:	61 IBU
OG:	1.066		FG:	1.015
Alcohol:	6.5% v/v (5.1% w/w)
Grain:	10 lb. American 2-row 1 lb. American Munich 1 lb. British crystal 70-80L
Mash:	75% efficiency
	Infusion mashed at 153° F. for 90 minutes.
Boil:	60 minutes	SG 1.082	4 gallons
Hops:	2.0 oz. Perle (8% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 30 min.) .5 oz. Perle (8% AA, 30 min.) 1 oz. Cascade (aroma) 1 oz. Willamette (aroma)
Yeast:	I used a slurry of Wyeast 2112 harvested from a 5 gal. batch. I fed it 16 oz. starter wort at the start of the mash. Got a 2 hr. lag.
Log:	Fermented in primary 2 weeks at 67 F. I added .5 oz Cascade and .5 oz. Willamette at knockout for aroma. I also dryhopped with .5 oz. Cascade and .5 oz Willamette in secondary for 3 weeks. The 1 oz. Cascade and .5 oz. Perle listed at 30 min. were really first-wort-hopped; I believe they add bitterness at about a 30 min. boil level. The FWH adds incredible hop flavor very smoothly.
Carbonation:	Primed with 3/4 cup corn sugar at bottling time.
Tasting:	Tasted at bottling - very good. The hops were old, so I think the IBU figures are a bit overstated. I will use fresh hops next time. The combination of Cascade with Willamette as dryhops is outstanding.
