Brewed 6/23/2012 - A very hoppy amber ale. Base off a Nugget Nectar clone. It is a little bitter but has good malt to balance. Next time I would use a bit less of the bittering hops. I did a single infusion batch sparge at 154 in a 10 gallon water cooler with a stainless steel braid for the filter. The strike water was 5.86 gallons at 165. 1st runnings was 4.1 gallons, a little more than calculated. Sparged with 3.75 gallons at 185, brought the grain to 167.5.
Boiled for 90 minutes to bring out some of the darker colors. My original gravity was 1.073. I pitched a 2 cup starter made from wheat LME. Racked to a secondary 11 days and dry hopped. Kegged about 14 days later.
