Leftovers Pale Ale

3lb British Pale-Ale 2-row
.5lb Crystal 40L
.25lb Crystal 120L
.5lb Victory
.5lb Munich German

1lb Muton's Wheat DME
3lb Munton's Extra-Light DME

.5oz Kent Goldings 5% 30min
.5oz Kent Goldings 5% 0min

Safale US-05

===============================

Mash all grains at 150ยบ for 60min in 1.54gal
Sparge with 1.54gal (2.75 gal wort from mash)
S.G. mash 1.043 * 2.75 = 110 G.U.

Started with 5.5gal boiled 60min down to 4.5gal
topped off to 5.5 after flame-out.

Added 4lb DME at flame-out. 4 * 1.040 = 160 G.U.

160 G.U. + 11O G.U. = 270 G.U. / 5.5 = 1.049 E.O.G.

Actual O.G. 1.053

Edit:
I racked to keg on 4/24/07 with a F.G. 1.014 for about 5%abv.
