====== Batch 11 ======

Back to [[brewing:log|log]].

**Intent**:  Irish Red ale.

===== Grain Bill =====

  * 2700g Maris Otter barley malt.
  * 450g Munich malt.
  * 450g Crystal malt (60L).

==== Non-Grain Ingredients ====

  * 56g Fuggle hops.
  * 11.5g SafAle S-04.
  * 150g demerera sugar.

===== Process =====

For this batch, I used a Coleman PolyLite 48 as my mash tun.  Sterilized everything.  Heated strike water to 72°C.  Transferred strike water to Coleman, and mashed in.  Covered it with a blanket for one hour.

Lautered, and started the boil.  Added the demerera and half the Fuggle 15 minutes before flameout, but started the other half as a hop tea.  Transferred wort kettles to the cooler.

Once it had cooled, I transferred the wort to the carboy, took a gravity reading, added my hop tea, and pitched the yeast.
