11/1, 2008: the final kit: Sierra Nevada Clone

The election is only three days away; thanksgiving comes up in only three weeks. We need one more brew. Enter the Sierra Nevada clone from MBS.

Ingredients:
Mash bill:
6lbs Gold LME
8oz Carapils
8oz 10L Caramel

Hops:
2oz Perle (60 min)
2oz Cascade (2 min)

HIGH attenuation dry yeast

Note: recipe predicts SG 1.042-1.046, FG 1.010-1.012. We'll see what happens with the yeast change.

SG, though, is 1.032 at 87 degs

11/2: 9am -- bubbling strong

11/6: shook up beer. (temp outside of carboy = 68)

11/8: racked -- Gravity is at 1.011 at 59 degs

11/12: FG is 1.010. Close enough. Bottling time.
