Attempted Style: Medium American Ale
Ingredients:
1 c. corn sugar
1 lb. Unhopped Extra Dark Dry Malt
3.3 lb can Munton's Hopped American Style Light Lager Extract
0.5 oz. Citra AA 13.9 Whole hops 30 minutes
0.5 oz. Citra AA 13.9 Whole hops 15 minutes
2 tsp. Irish Moss 15 minutes
1 vial Whitelabs East Coast Ale Yeast WLP008
1 packet Muntons dry lager yeast
Notes: I purchased four used glass carboys at an estate sale. The previous owner had been making wine, but each bottle contained brown sludge that looked fairly hazardous (as well as all his fermentation locks were dry...). I cleaned out all four of them and I used one for primary fermentation.
6/8/14:
Heated 3.5 gal water to boiling. Added Malt Extracts and corn sugar. Boil for 60 minutes adding Citra for 30 minutes of boil time and 15 minutes of boil time. Added Irish Moss for last 15 minutes of boil. Strained out hops, cooled wort with chiller. Added cooled wort to 1 gal. tap water in glass carboy. Finished filling to within 6 inches of top with cold tap water. Added yeast straight from refrigerator to wort without bringing to room temp.
OG: 1.050.
