Cascade pale ale

Finally brewed my first partial mash beer. For those keeping track, this leaves two beers in primary in my closet. The mash temp was all over the place (152-165) but it seems to have worked out in the end. The grain bill was a bit much for the setup I had, but I managed pretty well. Original gravity is 1.047 (corrected) which was pretty much what was to be expected. I did alter the recipe a bit in order to highlight the 2 oz of fresh IN Cascade hops that I got. I'm also planning on dry hopping on the second oz, which is sittin in my freezer.

Overall, I'm very happy with this beer. Good clean protein break and good tasting wort. Woot.
