Wyeast American Ale 1056 - made a starter 1 days before
Fermentation was at 68 degrees
I screwed this one a little - I made the recipe for a Mini Mash by converting 0.7 Munich LME to 1lb of Munich Grain. THEN - I forgot and steeped instead of mashing. I realized this and added ice to cool the wort then added 0.9lb extra of Extra Pale DME for a total of 3lbs so I would not lose the sugar from the too hot steep.
The OG came out a tad high(sue to the extra DME) but I probably got the flavor from the Munich grain. I'm thinking my FG would be high also but the extra DME might take care of that. Should be interesting. The hops were fresh and picked 1 week earlier.
Fantastic IPAish Ale - Love it - will brew again - very hoppy and balanced.
