Update- "A Boy Named Pseudo-Sue" was brewed!

This past Friday night I brewed this beer.  Hit all my numbers but I can make improvements!

1. Rebuild my controller box to run two 110V heat sticks.
     a. add switch for pump
2. Drill holes to mount elements in 10Gal kettle.


What worked well.

1. the hot water pump
2. the false bottom on the 10Gal mash tun
3. the volume marked kettle
4. THE PLATE CHILLER



Overall, I am quite happy how the brew day went, minus one of the two didn't work.  I am amazed at how well the plate chiller worked and how I ever brewed without out.  Don't get me wrong, no-chill served me well for many years but the plate chiller removed the needed steps the following day!

A Boy Named Pseudo-Sue (American Pale Ale)

It has been a long time, mostly because I've been slowly changing my brew rig.  The last pieces are set to arrive today-ish and I hope to brew in the next week.

The Recipe is based of of the beer PseudoSue from Toppling Goliath Brewing:
