So while brewing this I decided to use my fancy new refractometer. Unfortunately it must not have been calibrated right (it read 0 brix against tap water) and I ended up thinking that I got really poor efficiency on my sparge. So… 4 lbs of DME later I took a measurement with my hydrometer. 1070 OG! Heh… so I’m calling this brew Old Imperial Chicken. I used the Morland ‘Old Speckled Hen’ yeast and ‘Rooster’ yeast so why not? I think with the relatively high OG some conditioning may be in good order. Who knows… it could turn out really good. The color is dark enough for an Old Ale (somewhere close to 20 SRM is my guess).
