BCS Janet's Brown
American Brown Ale • All Grain • 10.5 gal
According to Steve, this is McDoles recipe from Brewing Classic Styles. No mods for Boil/Batch size. Adjusted default efficiency & attenuation to match OG/FG. Had to add 1lb sugar to make the numbers match Steve's Beersmith recipe( http://brewing.steveandemily.net/2010/04/22/janets-brown-ale-10c). Maybe Steve forgot to include the sugar in his post? The 2009 NHC recipe has 1lb of corn sugar (http://wiki.homebrewersassociation.org/JanetsBrownAle)

Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05
Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05
The most famous ale yeast strain found across America, now available as a ready-to-pitch dry yeast. Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate. Sedimentation: low to medium. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C± 3C(80F ±6F). Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C(68F). Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.
Notes
+ Mash at 154 for 60m + Half of 60m hop charge s/b be added to the mash + Half of 10m hop charge should be added at flame out + Dry hop with Centennial (8.7% alpha) Recipe calls for 4oz, adjust according to your batch size!
