Panama Red

Got this recipe off of NB, slightly converted...Brewed last thursday before seeing Kenny Rogers and the rest of the Tigers spank the Yankee during the first ever playoff game at Comerica Park...first in 19 years for the Tigers organization...then I was off to San Diego for the weekend to see the Chargers and Steelers play while managing to get kicked out of two different bars and basically be drunk for 48 hours straight

Panama Red
10 lbs. two-row pale weyer
2 lbs. briess 6-row 60L
2 lbs. weyer vienna
.75 lbs. briess chocolate

hops: Northern Brewer - 60 min 1 oz.
Fuggle - 30 min 1 oz.
Cascade 15 min. .5 oz.
Cascade 5 min. .5 oz.
1 oz. of Cascade Leafs in Secondary

california ale liquid yeast

-60 min boil
-whirlpooled to minimize trub...worked great!!!
-added irish moss at flame out - forgot to add earlier(oops)

1.25 gal to each pound of grains for mash
mashed at 152
mashed out at 170
sparged with 2.5 gals of 170
then 2 more gals at 150
1.046 BG before boil
1.056 OG
started yeast 2 days prior
bubbled wort before pitching yeast during siphoning out of kettle (20 minutes or so)
bitter tasting before pitching, sweet before hops/boil

1.020 going from primary to secondary

Next time:
need bigger hot liquor kettle
90 min boil - 6.5-7 gal of collected wort pre-boil should be perfect - had extra this time in bottom of pot with whirlpooled hops and left in primary trub

ESB UPDATE
-yeast was stuck in the trob - cause of high floculation and wouldn't go - shook up but still didn't help that much - 1.025 gravity - now in secondary is churning like a mo fo and should finish off in a week or so
