Used a pump/chill plate for the first time to cool the beer before going to the fermenter. Also broke in a new mash/lauter tun made out of a 75 qt cooler to handle larger grain bills like this brew. The brew day was a little more chaotic than usual, but overall it went well. Beer came in a few points lower than anticipated, but still within the American IPA category.

Mash profile for most well-modified malts.
# | Name | Time | Temp. | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Mash In | 60 min. | 154°F | Add 70% of mash water at 166° F / 74° C |
2 | Mash Out | 10 min. | 168°F | Add 30% of mash water at 197° F / 92° C |
Exceptionally hard water that brings out hop flavor.
Fermenting in a 13 gallon blue plastic extract container.
Dry Hop with the Cascade and Amarillo hops after transfer to secondary. I'll have to split this into two 5 gallon carboys, so I'll mix the hops evenly between them.
20100605 - Racked to secondary carboys and split the dry hops 50-50%. Got an almost perfect split in beer volume thanks to the 'Y' connector.
