Notes

Steep crushed malts in 3 gallons of water at 150º for 30 minutes. Remove grains from wort, add malt powder and bring to a boil. Add Cascade (bittering) hops, Irish moss and boil for 60 minutes. Add Mt. Hood hops (aroma) for the last 2 minutes of the boil. When done boiling, remove hops and cool wort quickly. Transfer to 6.5 gallon glass carboy and add water to gallons. When wort is approximately 80º, aerate the beer and pitch the yeast. Allow the beer to cool over the next few hours to 68º-70º, and ferment for 10 to 14 days. Add the 0.7 oz of Cascade (6 IBU) pellets to dry hop your beer for about 5 –7 days, then bottle the beer. Notes (10/6/2007) Primary Fermentation in Plastic Bucket: 13 days --Took a full 36 hrs to get fermentation going --Yeast packet did not get very big --Pitched yeast at too high temp?? Do not think so... --Pitched yeast at too low temp?? Maybe --Temperature did get high for a day or two then got really cold here so temp drop < 60F...maybe contributing to higher S.G. than expected...maybe fermentation will start again since transfered to secondary --Dry hopped when transfered to secondary carboy (glass) --S.G. 1.019-1.020 Tasted sample of beer...I like it very much --not estery aftertaste --not hoppy but dry hop will change it but hopefully not too much --color was good...less than "Courtney's Crush" as expected...light amber color...clearer than "Courtney's Crush" as well.
