5 lbs 2 row
8 oz white wheat
5 oz carapils
4 oz dextrose (10 min)
4 oz crystal 20
0.5 oz Magnum (60 min)
0.5 oz Goldings (10 min)
0.5 tsp gypsum (10 min)
0.3 oz Columbus (0 min)
2.5 oz Cascade leaf (0 min)
0.5 oz Galaxy (dryhop)
1 oz Simcoe (dryhop)
Safale 05 yeast
Heating wort water in a 5 gallon pot instead of the keggle would make things a lot easier. Sparge watershould be heated in keggle.
Wort was just over 4 gallons at boil and not 4.5 as anticipated. Only yielded 2.5 gallons. Next time heat an extra half gallon sparge water.
Thermometer broke and I had to improvise with a less accurate one.
Dry hopped primary after 10 days. Tried to dryhop with cascade leaf hops, but they seemed to just float on top of beer. Opening in fermentor was too small to but them in a bag.
Kegged after 15 days. Has some kegging issues. The poppet was installed incorrectly.
Flowing great after I reinstalled poppet.
This is a very good beer. A bit on the dry side and needs some more pronounced grain profile. Nice nose. Not my favorite dry hop (simcoe), but this turned out pretty good. Cleared after 4 weeks and hops faded a bit.
