Today was finally IPA day. I used 3 oz. of rice hulls to spectacular effect. ('Spectacular' is an overstament as there's nothing that's ever a spectacle about a sparge.) I'm pretty much committed to rice hulls in everything from now on. I did a thin mash of 1.7 quarts/pound, mashed at 149, and everything went nicely. In the future I'll try 1.6 qts/pound as 1.7 seemed unnecessarily thin, and I should keep in mind the quart that lives under my false bottom.

I chnged the hop profile: 1 oz each cascade and amarillo for 60, 1 oz. amarillo for 15 and 1.5 oz. cascade at knockout, with 5 minutes before I started the chiller.
