11/22/2008 - based on a recipe from The Brewmaster's Bible, p. 324-6. from Boston Brewers Supply Co, Jamaica Plain, Mass. An Anchor Steam clone.
8oz crystal 10L
6lbs light syrup
1lb light dme
1 oz Northern Brewer (45)
1 oz Northern Brewer (25)
1 oz Cascade (5)
1tsp Irish moss
1pkg Saflager S-23
SG:1.054
Temp: 67F
anticipated FG:1.014
12/01/2008 - Racked to secondary. FG:1.014. Moved to garage. Currently 35F in the garage.
1/1/2009 - I'm measuring something wrong. Bottled today, but the SG was up to 17 (was 14). I don't get it. I've accounted for the temp, so it's not that. Is there something I'm missing?

11/6/2008 - from the Brewmaster's Bible, West Coast IPA, but reducing to bring down from the IPA range. I'm entering this one in the local Big Turkey club competition at the end of the month.
8 oz light crystal malt
6 lbs light malt extract syrup
12 oz light dry malt extract
1 oz Galena pellets (45)
.5oz oz Cascade pellets (15)
1 tsp Irish moss (15)
1 oz Cascade pellets (5)
1 package dry ale yeast
1 oz Cascade pellets (dry hop in 2ary)
6 oz corn sugar
OG: 1.050
anticipated FG: 1.013
approx 33 IBUs
Pitched at 74F.
11/11/2008 - Racked to secondary, dry hopped. I'm going to drop some gelatin in later in the day. I want to get this one into bottles by the weekend. Forgot to get SG, no problem, I'll grab it on bottling day.
11/12/2008 - Wait, this thing started fermenting again. Weird, because the temp is lower now than it was before I racked. Oh well.
11/17/2008 - What a PITA to get the hop bag out of the carboy!!! Bottled at FG: 1.013, 4.8% ABV, 74% apparent attenuation. Used 1 cup of corn sugar for bottling to increase carbonation level.
12/29/2008 - Mmmm, Mmmm, good. Unfortunately, I missed the contest, but the beer is good.
