Notes
Mash grains at 150* for 60 min, transfer wort to secondary and sparge grains before discarding. Bring to a boil and add the liquid malt, once thoroughly dissolved add Columbus hops and start the 60 minute countdown adding the other hops at the appropriate times. Add the Irish moss, corriander, and bitters with the last hop addition at 10 minutes left on boil. Once done remove hops and add honey, stir for 5 more minutes and remove heat, let rest for another 5 minutes. Notes: *I used a grain bag for the boil and kept adding the different hops and other ingredients to the same bag at the designated intervals. *I have a colander that fits the top of my ale pale perfectly, I put the grain bag with the hops there and press to get as much wort/hop juice out of them as possible before discarding *I did use some whole hops I had left over from my last fresh hops order, but in general only use pellets, your choice. * I used two packs of yeast to pitch, this is going to be a really strong brew. In the fermenter this look almost black before the yeast takes action and starts churning, In the end I am trying to make a fusion beer here combining my two favorite styles of beer, Imperial IPA's and unfiltered Ambers. Feel free to use/tweak as you want, if you do let me know how it turns out.
