American Amber Ale: Brew Day – March 9, 2006

Procedure:

· Steeped grain for ~20 while water came up to 170 degrees F.

· Added Cascade hops* at 5 min

· Added Willamette hops at 55 min

· Vigorously agitated 2 gal of cold water in primary fermenter

· Strained wort into fermenter and then topped off to 5 gal. Extra water was added from the sink faucet at about four feet. This significantly aerated the wort.

· Original Gravity: 1.036

* I accidentally swapped my bittering and finishing hops. I am considering dry hopping with ½ oz of cascade in the secondary. The brew community reports that this will still turn out great.
