He and Lori were staying in town and so was our family so we decided to get together and enjoy a great Christmas day.<\/p>\n<p>I worked up a 10.5 gallon post boil recipe that is a slight modification of a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (SNPA) clone. <\/p>\n<p>Grain Bill:<br \/>\n20 # 2-row pale malt<br \/>\n1 # 60L<br \/>\n1 oz Carapils (that was all I had, oh well)<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nHops:<br \/>\n1 oz Chinook pellets 12% AA at 60 mins.<br \/>\n1 oz Centinnel pellets 8% AA at 5 mins.<br \/>\n2 oz Cascade pellets 7% AA at 1 min.<\/p>\n<p>Yeast: Safale US-05<\/p>\n<p>Mashed in at 148 degrees F but brought the temp up to 154 degrees quickly. The sparge ran fast but all said and done, we ended up with SG=1.055, a little higher than the expected 1.052, despite having added only 1 oz of Carapils. My recipe called for 8 oz and I had not realized I did not have it in stock. Cooling the wort went really well with the Therminator because of cold ground water.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Saturday, January 8, 2011: Began cold crashing at around 35 degrees F.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Sunday, January 23, 2011: We kegged the brew today. Tasted great; color very similar to SNPA. Did not get the aroma hops that we wanted. But still a very good beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Me and my good friend Steve decided to have a brew session on Christmas day, Saturday, December 25, 2010.
