Amber Ale (10 gallon batch)

I did this batch on my old brewing system with the guy who bought it from me. It was a 10 gallon batch but we split it 1/2 and 1/2. It was his recipe and looks like it will be pretty good.

Ingredients-

Grain:
18 lbs 2 Row
3 lbs 8 oz Crystal 60L

Hops:
1.5 oz Cascade @ 60
2 oz Cascade @ 30
2 oz Cascade @ 5

Yeast: Safale-05

OG- 1.052

31DEC2011- Brewing went really well and the system performed as it should before selling it. I had just gotten the sight glass installed before brewing and passing it off to its new owner and it worked great.

12JAN2012- Down to 1.016, should be ready to keg. Maybe sometime this weekend I'll clean out an empty keg and start carbing this.

New System

In my quest to build a new system I've started work converting more kegs while I am trying to sell my old system to fund the new one. This is actually an extra keg I came across and converted and am also trying to sell. But it is an example of what I will be doing for all three kegs/kettles in my system.

Bargain Fittings

This is sort of a plug for a website I have really come to like. I am in the middle of designing and setting up a new brew system, a two tier with a pump instead of a three tier gravity fed.

I have been buying different brewing hardware to convert my kegs into kettles, attach thermometers and install sight glasses from bargainfittings.

They have a great selection of the things you need without all the expensive extra stuff that people buy to just make their stuff look fancy but doesn't do a thing for their ability to brew. The prices are the best I have found anywhere, whether on the internet or in local stores. They also have flat rate shipping for only $5 and after I order I have always received my products in less than a week. For anyone looking to convert coolers or kegs, install thermometers, sight glasses or quick disconnects, this is the place to go.

Check it out sometime.
