APA Round 3

Brewed APA again, this time switching it up a little bit. Typically I brew this beer (like all my beers) with pilsner as the base malt, but I decided to do it different and am using marris otter for the base.

I mashed in at 154 around 2:30 with 3.5 gallons of water and let sit until 3:40, at which point I sparged with 6 gallons of additional water. Collected about 7.5 gallons of sweet liquor and put 6.5g in my kettle (I miscalculated my sparge water - factoring in a system loss that I don't experience).

Boiled for 60 minutes with hop additions at 60, 10, and flameout, then pitched a full sachet of rehydrated US-05 to ferment.

OG: 1.054 at 5 gallons.
