Gonna dry that sucka out!

The Devotion Ale recipe that I kegged today finished out at 1.002, nice.
Was pretty happy with the hydro sample, can't wait 'til this one is carbed up.

Don't think I posted that one, it came from Zymurgy (or BYO, don't remember which)

7.25# Bel pils
.5# cystal 15L
1.5# dextrose 15 min

.5 oz northern brewer 90 min
.11 oz northern brewer 45 min
.11 oz northern brewer 15 min
.81 oz tettnang @ flame out

WLP 530 Abbey Ale yeast

75 min mash @ 148; 90 min boil

Sorry about the Mary Poppins reference.

The issue that had the recipe also had a sugar addition taste test where they split a batch and used corn sugar, candi sugar, cane (beet) sugar, and brown sugar.
The candi sugar was best across the board, and the corn sugar was next for about a month, then the corn sugar went south and the brown sugar, (which was apparently awful for the first four weeks) became really good.

I used corn sugar because that's what the recipe called for - I've also used cane sugar. I haven't tried candi sugar yet, but plan to (good how to make candi sugar thread here http://www.homebrewchatter.com/home2/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=66&p=150&hilit=invert#p150).
