leftovers

I brewed today with leftover Moose Drool ingredients. I tweaked the recipe a bit for the purpose of experimentation.
Brown Ale
Ingredients:
6lbs. Light DME
.75lbs. Crystal Malt
.25lbs. Black Patent Malt
.25lbs. Chocolate Malt
1 oz. Ahtanum Hops 60 min.
.5 oz. Liberty Hops 20 min.
. 5oz. Willamette Hops 5 min.
Irish Moss 15 min.
White Labs California Ale Yeast #WLP001 (harvested from Moose Drool primary)
Process:
steeped the Crystal, Black Patent, and Chocolate Malts in 2 gals. of water for 20 minutes @ 150°.
Added to brew pot and added Light malt extract and Ahtanum for 60 min. boil.
Added Liberty Hops with 20 minutes remaining
Added Irish Moss with 15 minutes remaining
Added Willamette Hops with 5 minutes remaining.
Used immersion chiller and pitched California Ale yeast @75°.
Shook carboy to aerate yeast.


I had a few minor hiccups with this brew but everything came out fine in the end. Hiccups = running to the Backyard Brewing Supplies for DME and running out of propane during boil up.
