Making 12gal of this today to re-fill the ailing pipelines.

11lbs 2-Row.
1lb Wheat Malt.
0.5 lb C40.

First 6 Gallons:
1oz Crystal 9% @ 60
1oz Crystal 9% @ 20
1oz Crystal 9% @ Flame-out.
IBUs: 30

Second 6 Gallons:
2oz Fuggles 4.5% @ 60
1oz Fuggles 4.5% @ 20
1oz Fuggles 4.5% @ Flame-out
IBUs: 25

Mash 150F for 90 minutes.

Good pitch of S-05 slurry in both.

edit: pulled the white rice; turns out I'd run out.

12 gallons in one day. I'll be good for house ale for a while :D

Also, this has at least some academic interest to me - essentially the same grain bill + IBU count, but with two very different hop varieties.

Both of these are very tasty, full bodied pale ales. The difference in taste from the hops is very distinct; a worthy ten gallon experiment :D

Neither of them really have much grapefruit flavour, as there wasn't any amarillo (or similar american hops) involved... Also not bottled, but I'll have some at a meeting once I get back from the UK :)

Aye two weeks... not really a holiday though - technically I'm still at work. The wonders of Work 2.0.

a change of scenery is always good ...especially when it's another country altogether, and one with real pubs too! i used to travel a lot, too much really, but now there's none at all I miss it.

so you'll be back in time for the meeting on the 17th then?
