Notes
Crystal Malt steeped for 30 minutes @ 160F, then removed. Brought to boil, added Burton water salts, removed from heat. Add DME, return to boil. Boil for 75 min. After 15 start skimming crud off suface. At 60 min add Chinook hops, at 45 min add second hop. Add Irish Moss at 15 min and Fuggles hops at 10 min. Once the wort was cooled and water added to 5 gallons, it was added to the fermenter with yeast/trub cake on bottom from previous batch which was racked a half hour earlier. Yeast has 63-68% attenuation. O.G. 1.088
