Base wort provided by the Rockyard Brewing company for a club contest similar to Iron Brewer (Sept/Oct issue of Zymurgy), but only for specialty beers. The base wort was the second runnings of a Double Red. Starting gravity: 1.050.
Steeped 1 pound of wheat malt for 30 minutes in 1.5 gallons of 165° water. Topped off to 6 gallons with wort provided by the Rockyard (January 24, 2009).
Fermentation seems to have petered out. I’ll agitate the carboy and try to raise the temperature to get the yeast to finish out (January 30, 2009).
