Yeast
Wyeast Labs American Ale II — Liquid
Procedure

9/8: Recipe called for American Ale I (Actually White Labs California Ale), but homebrew shop suggested Am Ale II, so I'm going to give that a shot. Made a starter for the yeast with 1.25 pounds of DME in 1 Qt of H20.

9/9: Brew day. Brought up 16.68 qts of H20, and added 3.2 grams of gypsum. In another pot, I prepared to boil the other 9.34 qt of water with the remaining 1.8 grams of gypsum. I Figured out my evaporation rate is 1 gallon / hour, and given the boil was going to be 90 minutes, I lautered out a little under 7 gallons of wort (the extraordinary amount of whole leaf hops were going to soak up quite a bit. Got 5 gallons of wort to pitch beer into.

Dry hopped for 3 days in the primary after main fermentation subsided.

Fermentation
Primary: 7 days @ 72° F
Secondary: 2 days @ 72° F
Tertiary: 10 days @ ° F
Age: 28 days @ 52° F
Notes

Augmented from BYO magazine clone recipe. Used american ale II instead of I, used 2.00 instead of 2.75 ounces of warrior for full boil, added Light Dry Extract in place of some of the corn sugar in the boil., and added some leftover goldings to make up for the .75 ounces of warrior.
