also it says to lower to 32 degrees after 3-5 days in secondary, why? its an ale

Sounds good! and yes you can brew over here, just bring some beer and I will have some too! Is that a 5 gallon recipe? It looks like it will be arounf 5% but I did not run the number. It sure has a hell of a lot of hops. Not sure if you can get them all in time. Do you have them already?

[bbushmaster]

yeah I do have the hops and that program estimates it at 5.8% I had the alcohol above 6.5% using something other than the 2 row american before I got the grain I calculated the recipe with lager malt and I think I calculated 15 pounds so it was like 6.5% or close to it

[bbushmaster]

i changed it up a bit i went to 1.25 pounds 2row barley malt and if my efficiency correction is rite that puts the alcohol at 7.2% but my gravity is .001 below minimum and color is 1 degree above maximum do you think that would be alright?

[bbushmaster]

yes 5 gal
