I think we over did it

We made a brew tonight that was put together by Matt and I. We went down to the Homebrew store and made the magic happen. Here is where we picked up some delicious hops, barley and yeast. MMmmm MMmmmm, tasty. NO but for real, the hops we got are some of the best and most flavorful strains out there.

Boil Schedule for a partial mash brew

bring two gallons of water to 160 degrees F and then remove from heat and add the speciality grains in the muslin bag.

Steep for 30 minutes and then remove and sparge with 170 deg F water.

Bring to a boil and then add the DME and LME

Start doing the hop thing

1 oz of Columbus (15.8 AA) continuously hopped starting at 60 minutes and ending at 30 minutes

1 oz of Sirachi Ace (10.1 AA) @ 30 minute

Addition of 2 tsp of Irish Moss

1 oz of Columbus (15.8 AA) continuously hopped starting at 30 minutes and ending at 15 minutes.

Combined the rest of the Columbus, 1 oz of Sirachi Ace and 2 oz of Willamette (5.4 AA) in a bowl and started to continuously add until 5 minutes, then we dumped the rest into the kettle for the remainder of the boil.

We then strained the whole mess into the bottling bucket and collected the hops into a muslin bag and put them into the now 5 gallon chilled mixture and let them sit there for 10 minutes while we brought it down to pitching temperature.

Poured the concoction into the primary fermentor and added the yeast.

VIOLA we have beer

PRAISE BE TO THE GOD OF HOP
