Bell's Two-Hearted Clone

Alright, it's March 13 and it has been nearly 4 months since the last brew. We're finally operating again after a few weeks (months?). I'll put up a picture here in a second if I can figure out how.

Improvements to the brewery since last time:

-Soldered fittings on all kettles
-Sight glass added to BK for volume measurement
-Permanent thermometer added to HLT
-Second pump
-Angle-iron frame for holding the MLT and mounting pumps




Recipe:
- 11 lb Briess 2-row malt
- 1 lb Briess 2-row caramel 40
- 1.5 oz Centennial @ 60 minutes
- 0.5 oz Centennial @ 30 minutes
- 0.75 oz Centennial @ 10 min
- 0.25 oz Centennial @ flame out


We did a super thin mash, basically filling 100% of the space in the MLT. We got out about ~8.5 gal after a quick batch sparge at ~ 1.038 SG.

During a normal boil,we lost about 2 gallons out of the BK. 1.051 OG.

We need to figure out how to chill from the HLT instead of doing it gravity style.

We'll see how it turns out.
