.5 oz Kent Goldings (20 min)
.5 oz. Kent Goldings (finish)

Procedure The amount of grain here maxed out my bucket tun sparger. The alcohol here is only about 9%, but then I sparged only enough water to accumulate about 6 gallons for the boil.

Sparging for an 8 or 9 gallons and then reducing to around 6 gallons when adding the hops
should add a boost to the alcohol content. Also, the Irish ale yeast brought the fermentation down
to the final gravity. The champagne yeast brought no further fermentation and could be
eliminated. Brewed as a single decoct. Strike temp of 144. Main mash at 154.
