Bearfootdaddy brewing beer

I brewed my second batch of beer today, An American all grain Amber Ale. I have my Barley, Ten pounds of it, Just to make five gallons of beer. Ten pounds of barley was more than I could fit in my five gallon pot. So I made two big "I said big right", Big "tea" bags of crushed barley. I boiled them at 153f for one hour and then took the barley out and boiled for ten minutes. After that It was time for the hops. Since I am making American Amber ale I used Cascade hops. I boiled the two ounces of hopes for one hour and with fifteen minutes left I put in one more ounce of the hops and a teaspoon of Irish moss. Irish moss (Shhhh its a brewers secret) helps with the clearity in the cooling process and a clearer final beer.
