Batch #198 ~ Hoppy Red Ale ~ brewed November 2019:


I fine-tuned my grain mill, so that I could balance high a.b.v. and normal speed of sparge, so this batch achieves an a.b.v. of 5.75%, using 22# of grain, a good balance.  I used 17# of two-row barley malt and 5# of Caramel 150 malt in the mash, then Centennial leaf and UK Challenger pellet hops in the brew, and Safale T-58 Belgian Ale yeast in the ferment.  I dry-hopped in the secondary carboys with US Fuggle pellets, for a nice red colored, IPA-level hoppiness.

Cheers!
