Today was the first time I used a yeast starter- a 2L starter of Wyeast 1332 (Northwest Ale). Also the first time I have used Gypsum in the mash. Add in the first time I have used Irish Moss for clearing and I am excited to see how this beer turns out.
I have been brewing for over 2 years and I am tired of my beers being "alright." I want to make great beer, that's why I started this hobby. My recipe is below:
9 lbs 8 oz Northwestern Pale Ale Malt
2 lbs 8 oz Rye Malt
1 lb Crystal 15
8 oz Carapils
1 oz Chinook @ 60 min
0.5 Summit @ 15 min
1 oz Simcoe @ 5 min
1 oz Simcoe @ 0 min
2 oz Simcoe dryhop
And I will be done around 1:00 in the afternoon thanks to prepping some last night...Gonna be a good day (of firsts)
