Plan B Pale Ale
8.5 lbs Rahr Pale Ale Malt
1.0 lbs White Wheat
2 ounces Crystal 80°L
2 ounces CaraAroma (130-170°L)
.8 ounces Northern Brewer pellets 7.8% for 60 (6.2 AAU, 26 IBU)
1 ounce Saphir pellets 4.6% for 15
1 ounce Santiam pellets 6.3% for 10
1 ounce Santiam pellets 6.3% for 2
1 ounce Glacier pellets 4.5% steeped in the 175° kettle after flameout for 20-30 minutes (hopstand as Blkmt2000 refers to it).
Wyeast 1099 Whitbread Ale Yeast
OG: 1.054, FG: 1.012, IBU: 49, SRM: 8, ABV: 5.2%
I mashed at 150.2°, single infusion. All filtered tap water with exactly the same amount of sulfate as chlorides (a mere 51ppm). Should be a very pale amber color and it should also be crystal clear because this 1099 flocs like a mofo. Mash pH of 5.3, kettle pH should be around 5.4 or so. I have not used Glacier but picked some up because of a pale ale I tried at a brewpub recently that was delicious. It's supposed to have a nice, pleasing aroma and I think Blkmt2000's suggestion of "hopstanding" it is just the ticket. Cheers.
