Mash Notes
1) 4.5 gal initial runnings @ 18.6 brix (1.075) 2) Sparged 7.5 gal. 3) Pre Boil top off 2 gal for final 13.2 gal @ 1.048 (11.8 brix). 4) Post Boil 11 gal 1.055 (13.8 Brix).


Fermentation Notes
1) Fermentation started 5-8 hours after pitching yeast. 2) Heavy krausen. 3) 12/27 Racked to keg 1.015 (7.8 Brix). 4) 1/24/2004 1.014


Tasting Notes
First tasting on 1/24/2004. Darker and cloudier than commercial version. Not quite as bitter (may need more E.K. Goldings earlier in the brew??). Very good mouth feel and excellent head retention. Overall, turned out to be a very pleasant tasting brew. I actually like it better than the original commercial version.


Notes
Pete's Wicked Ale (original brewery notes): Color: Ruby Brown Aroma: Roasted Caramel, Hop Bouquet Body: Medium Taste: surprisingly smooth. The initial malt sweetness is balanced perfectly with the hop, dispelling the myth that all dark beers are bitter. Ingrediants: Pale and Caramel Hops: Cascade and Brewers Gold Specifications: ABV: 5.3% Calorie Content: 174 Carbohydrates: 17.7g Original Gravity: 1.055 RDF: 60.1% IBU: 18
