Brandon's Brew Day

Saturday is again Brewturday. Finally getting Brandon going on this. He's been waiting patiently since Christmas. We are brewing an APA with a fair amount of hoppiness. I was going to do a single hop series but decided to go with Cascade and Fuggles on this one.

8# Pale 2 row
1# Munich malt
1/2# Victory Malt
1/2# Carapils

2 0z Cascade pellets for 60 min
1/2 oz Fuggles pellets for 30 min
1/2 oz Fuggles pellets for 10 min

Going to mash at about 152 for 60 min hopefully getting about 2.5-3 gallons of first runnings

If my system stays the same I should get about a 1.054 reading on the hydrometer after boil. Mmm beer. Brandon has two cases plus of empty Sierra Nevada bottles ready to go, and who know, maybe this will be close to a clone of that beer. We'll see
