I may do two Harvest Ales this year. I haven’t decided what to do with my Blackberries and Grapes so for now I’ll focus on a brew for my Cascade and Centennial hops first. Here’s the basics:
| lbs | Grain |
|---|---|
| 10 | Brewer’s Malt 2-Row (Briess) |
| 1 | Caramel Malt – 40L (Briess) |
| 1 | Flaked Oats |
| Temp | Step |
|---|---|
| 160F | Pre-heat strike water |
| 154F | Mash In – 60 mins |
| 170F | Mash Out – 10 mins |
| 170F | Sparge |
Misc
- 2 tsp Irish Moss T-15
Hops
- 7.5 oz whole cone wet Cascade hops @ flame out, whirlpool
while chilling to 175F. - 2.5 oz whole cone wet Centennial hops 4 days into primary
fermentation
Water

- 1 tsp gypsum
This beer has been keg’d and is conditioning now. I’ll provide an update when it goes on tap!
