Charlie's Secret IPA

So my Uncle Charlie was kind enough to package up all the ingredients to his secret IPA recipe. Of course as fate would have it I was looking for an IPA to brew so couldn't have come at a better time. And tonight I was determined to get it going.

7:05 pm
water is on, 3 gallons up

7:11 pm
Grains are in, I set the burner on low to slowly get the grains to 160 instead of shooting them up there.

7:44 pm
Still waiting, up to 100F

8:30 pm
Great grains... it's all done and squeezed the sack to get more out of it.

8:46 pm
All the malt extract is, back to a boil, then throw the hops in

9:08 pm
Still waiting for boil...

9:15 pm
Finally, now we begin.

9:25 pm
About the only thing different this time is I'm going to boil with the lid on. Seems to make a much more violent boil as you'd expect. Hopefully the end result is better. I could boil without the lid on and let it roll. Not sure which is best or if it even matters.

9:45 pm
My only alteration to the secret recipe is to put in some Irish Moss. I'm a huge fan after what it did to the Pale Ale so throwing them in here.

10:05 pm
All done, now it's time to chill in the basement.

10:28 pm
Basically all chilled, temp's reading high 80s, when I add it to the other 2 gallons should come down nicely.

10:48 pm
Trying to strain the wort into the carboy, is taking forever. Clogging up the strainer ever 2 minutes then I have to spoon it through. What a pain.

11:05 pm
All done. What a pain!

11:36 pm
Finally done, cleaning and all. Right now it's looking like a nice OG of 1.057.

Hope I didn't screw anything up.
