UK 15L Caramalt
C III Sp (from Hoggetowne Ale Works)
Deb. Black (from Hoggetowne Ale Works)

Magnum/Horizon Hops

ABV: 6.2%
IBU: 70

Brewing Steps:
Steeped grains at 150 for 30 minutes
Boiled for 60 minutes, adding hops and LME/DME
Wort cooled to about 75 degrees in approximately 20 minutes using wort chiller and pre-chiller
Pitched yeast, placed in swamp cooler (maintained between 60-65 degrees using frozen water bottles changed about every 12 hours)

Ferment for 2-3 weeks adding dry hops after 2 weeks. May consider secondary fermentation for this batch.


Update (8/15/13)
Cold crashed fridge on 8/13 (down to 40 degrees).
Bottled on 8/15/13; dark color, smelled awesome, forgot to measure final gravity and almost forgot to add priming sugar.
Going to wait until at least 8/23 to try.
