Sweet Summer Ale

Time to try another brew. This is one I've tried successfully before, called Sweet Summer Ale.

Weigh out 0.5 lbs of the 40L Crystal Malt, put in a bag and crush the grains. Put this in the brew pot with about 5.5 gal of water.

14:19 Start the heat.
14:53 T = 200 F remove the crystal malt
14:57 boil begins. Add 3.3 lbs of LME and 3.0 lbs of DME.
15:11 Extract added and boil begins again. Add 0.5 oz of Williamette (pellet) hops in bag
15:51 Add 0.5 oz Saaz (plug) in bag. Add 1 tsp Irish Moss, 5 tsp yeast nutrient and 1 tsp yeast energizer.
16:01 Stop boil, start cooling
16:50 T = 79 F remove from cooling bath and set up to siphon into fermentor
16:57-17:09 Siphon to primary fermentor. T = 80 F, SG = 1.048, Adj SG = 1.050. Estimated for this recipe is 1.049. I can live with that difference.
17:17 Pitch yeast. I'm using WLP001 California Ale for this. 80 F is a little warm for yeast pitching, but not by much and this is ambient temperature.

Ok, the airlock is in place, the fermentor is in a closet. Just wait for evidence of fermentation.
