Brew Number 75

• BrewCraft Little Creature's Pale Ale copy
  • 150g spray wheat malt
  • 1kg brewblend #15
  • 15g Willamette hop bag
  • 15g Cascase hop bag
• 1.7 kg Black Rock Pilsner Blonde LME
• Wyeast #1272 (American Ale II) (2nd generation - 2008/11/22)

Was brought out to 23L. Used fermenter #1.

Apparently the yeast has an apparent attenuation of 74% If that is so the final gravity should be...

FG = (SG - 1000) * (1 - AA/100) + 1000 
   = ((1051 - 1000) * (1 - 74/100)) + 1000
   = 1013.3
