I do 10 gallon batches, sometimes I'll do a ~15 gallon if its a known recipe and I'm brewing for an occasion.
This is the kettle it replaced.
Anyone interested in doing another Homebrew trade like we did over a year ago?
My wife just gave me the ok to upgrade my brew system. She just had an expensive girls long weekend in Houston which made negotiating easier.
Leaning towards getting the High Gravity Brewing Electric Brew in a Bag system. As doing Full-Volume Electric brewing should cut down my brewing time dramatically. Which means I can brew more often.
Brewing the Gramarye clone tonight. Bought the grain last weekend while she was traveling, but with two kids alone - the brewing did not occur.
Pretty simple recipe - 6 Gallons:
8 lbs 2 Row
1.125 Rye Malt
.875 Crystal 45L
Mash 156
.25 oz Cascase FWH - (not in recipe, but I need FWH to prevent boil over and for IBUs to hit the recipe target)
.35 oz Columbus at 60
1 oz Cascade Flame Out
1 oz Amarillo Flame Out
1 oz Cascade Dry Hop
1 oz Amarill Dry Hop
WLP001
28 IBU
4.5% ABV
Should be a nice session beer.
