OK, all kidding aside, what style beer is it, what's the OG and what is the expected FG, and what temp are you fermenting it at? <- No, No, No, And I don't know.
I went bananas on this. This is my first all grain brew...I used 6lb of two row...and I think 10oz of specialty malts (caramel 90 and victory [i think]) then preboil I added about a pound of amber extract.......
If I calculate this right...
It came out to be a total of 220pts...I was aiming for only 3 gallons but I mashed with 3 gallons and then rinsed the grains with 3 more....and with about a hour long boil (a slow boil). I probably had around 4 gallons left to ferment.... so that puts me at ....If my math is right....an estimated OG of 1.073...and the yeast is a, third generation, american ale yeast...with a 75% attenuation... that puts me at a estimated FG around 1.02 .....and the temp has been inconsistently around...60-70 (I have a brew fermenting in a controlled fridge, this beer is just going with the weather)....
So its a super sweet beer, but here's the kicker boys....deep within the yeast cake, at the bottom, is a little spice bundle....(cloves, cinnamon, part of a vanilla bean, etc)....But of course I did my research and went small on the spices...
BOY I REALLY OUT DID MYSELF THIS TIME!!!!! (sigh, So should I just give up brewing now?)
