I got a new kettle for Christmas.

The first beer I made was an IPA. Here's the New Year's Day 2010 beer recipe:

• 14 lbs. Paul's Pale Malt
• .3 oz. magnum, 14.4% AA, 90 min
• 1 oz. simcoe, 12.7% AA, 60 min
• 1 oz. East Kent Goldings, 4.5%AA, 30 min
• 1 oz. EKG, 10 min
• pinch Irish moss
• Safale US-05, from a starter

Mashed at 151 for 60 min, which caused about 10 degrees heat loss, raised 6 degrees and held for 30 more minutes.

I boiled off about 3/4 of a gallon more than I intended over 90 minutes. My final volume was about 4 and 3/4 gallons at nearly 1.084 OG. I'm hoping for lots of attenuation.
