Mr. Robobrew
5.5 gallons
11 lbs. UCM
1 lb. Vienna Malt
8 ozs. CaraMunich I - 35 L
1 oz. UK Choc Malt
20 g Columbus at 60 min.
2 ozs. Cascade at 0 min.
2 ozs. Cascade dry hop 5 days before kegging.
US-05
Using a carboy because I bought a carboy cleaner so we will see how clean it gets it in 2 weeks.
O.G. - 1.043 - 70% efficiency. I assume my mill is getting worn and I will turn it up a notch.
F.G. -

SRM - 6.3
BU - 40
First thing I have to do is to see if Mr. Robobrew works. I knocked it over in the garage watering my flowers. After all, it is a cheap PC board installed in a coffee urn. Yes, it still works.
BREW DAY NOTES
Weather is nice, so get r done. May try to set the timer in the Robobrew to get hot water in the morning when I wake up. Nope, decided to not let this thing run while I am sleeping. Don't trust it.
Yeast pitched at 12 noon.
Day 2 - Nothing yet. Took over 20 hours to get going. WTF?
Day 3 - Same.
Update - Aug 11
This has turned out to be a really nice beer. One of the few West Coast Style beers that have tasted good. Even with US-05 which I have always hated. I will continue to make this style, maybe a little darker using just Cascade. If I get low, I will of course use Columbus as I don't waste anything.
