But more importantly, Grainfather Brew no.1

Mash
4.9kg Crisp Marris Otter Pale Ale Malt
380g Crisp Crystal Malt
Mash Temp: 68C
Mash Time: 60mins
Mash out: 75C for 10mins

Boil
Boil Time: 60 min
6g Pacific Jade-60 mins
Protoflac tab-15mins
40g Columbus, 40g Citra, 40g Centennial-flame out
Aroma Steep: 20 minutes

Fermentation
2x Mangrove Jack M44 US West Coast
OG 1.064

Dry Hop
40g Citra, 40g Centennial, 50g Summit once gravity hits 1.020

Expected gravities
OG 1.054/FG 1.012 ABV 5.5%

My only question is, would you liquor back to get correct OG or leave it and enjoy the extra alcohol?
 
I did wonder, but it’s what came in the box so I pitched it. The yeast cells have the extra OG to munch on and there’s been plenty of activity over the last few days. I’ll do a gravity check mid week and see where we are.
 
Kegged and bottled tonight, and having a celebratory Lagunitas IPA. Final gravity settled out at 1.018 giving an ABV of 6%. Trial jar tasted great, looking forward to cracking one open in a couple of weeks.

Took a mini keg of this to a party last night, massive hit with the other two discerning beer drinkers. All in all, couldn't recommend the kit highly enough.
