Mine was high too. I hit 1.067. I was kinda surprised. It's still tasty but the alcohol is prevalent. I sparged really slowly. About 45 minutes and I think that's what it was. But like I said. It's still tasty.
Well. I kept the grain bill to the recipe but had to change the hops around due to availability. 1.5oz chinook for 60 min 2oz mosaic for 5min. 1oz falconer flight 7 c's for 5 min...
Just mashed this puppy. I mashed a bit higher at 154 and used a combination of 4# Golden Promise and 5.5#Maris Otter. Now I'm contending with a semi stuck sparge..Wish me Luck.

I just bottled this today. I subbed mosaic for the Amarillo because the LHBS was out. Otherwise follow the recipe. Hydrometer sample was tasty. Needs a few week to balance out. Solid BIPA recipe.
Just put this in the secondary. OG was high at 1.062 and came down to 1.012 and still going. The hydrometer sample was delicious! Can't hardly wait until it ready to go. Thanks for recipe!
