15 Gallons 22 lbs. Weyermann Pilsner Malt 1 lb. Toasted Wheat Flakes 2 oz. Hallertauer Tradition ( 7% AA ) - 60 min. Wyeast 1056 American Ale ( 4 L starter ) 50/50 City/RO water O.G. - 1.056 F.G. - 1.014 % - 5.5 BU - 23 SRM - 3 FTBS TAX FREE BEER The first runnings were clear going into the kettle. However, the second runnings were very hazy. I couldn't figure out why. It bothered me until after I cooled it as fast as I could. The final wort was clear, or as clear as it always has been. I should of added a gallon of water since I was short in the kettle. This is why my OG was so high. I had a bit of trouble with the lid on the Conical as I didn't see any activity in the blow off jar. I have to be careful with the lid seal as it costs $20 - $30.      GOOD BEER - KEGGED MARCH 9                                                  ...
