Sticky Fingers and Turkey Fryers

Post by monk » Tue Jul 24, 2007 10:07 am

Well, the Orchard brewery turned out a nice pale ale today, I think:

Sticky Fingers PA

2.72 kg Pale LME
340 g Assorted Crystal 20L-75L

7 g Warrior pellet hops 16.4%aa for 45 min
15 g Perle pellet hops 7.6%aa for 30 min
28 g Cascade pellet hops 6.4%aa for 15 min
28 g Cascade pellet hops 6.4%aa for 1 min

Safale - 05 chico yeast

1.056
33 ibu

This is based on a SNPA clone recipe and smelled wonderful. Today marked the inaugural use of my turkey fryer, a bizarre little outdoor range for a pot, meant for boiling peanut oil with an unfortunate turkey swimming in it. (In case this sounds weird to you, join the club. We don't fry turkeys in my part of the country. Never even considered it before I bought this piece of equipment.)

Brew went nicely. Brought 3 gallons of warm wort to a boil in less than 4 minutes! Wow.

Good work :)

I'm glad to hear the turkey fryer is doing a good job. At the moment I'm a stovetop brewer, but I've been thinking of investing in a turkey fryer. My only concern is the propane fuel - I've never used it before and I'm a little apprehensive of having a pressurized fuel tanks lying around. How much care and attention does the propane need, and where do you store the tank?
