Parti-gyle: AT-ST

The second runnings of wort from my AT-AT Imperial Pale Ale through my Mash Lauter Tun was predictably much lighter in color and gravity. I was able to get 4.5 gallons of wort, and I measured it's specific gravity as 1.022 @ 108°F. Before adding any hops I allowed it to boil off some of the water for 30 min, and then added the following ingredients:

  • 1/2oz nugget hops for 60min
  • 1/2oz nugget hops for 30min
  • 1oz nugget hops, and 1oz sweet orange peels for 10min
  • 1 whirlfloc tablet for 15min
  • 1oz nugget hops at flame-out
  • WLP001 California ale yeast

The resulting 3.25 gallons of wort's OG was 1.032 @ 82°F, and started fermenting away within an hour.
