Notes
Mash rest at 122F, 1qt/lb at 132F
Next rest at 150F with 6qt boiling water
Mash out with 6qt boiling
Batch sparge with 6qt 175F
Lauter very slowly, took 1.5 hours start to finish
First runnings exactly 12 Brix
First runnings all in kettle 12.8 Brix (1.052)
Second runnings 7.5 Brix (1.030)
Third runnings 5.9 Brix (1.030)
Preboil OG was 11 Brix (1.044) out of kettle valve
90 min boil
Maybe 1 gal water left behind with grains
Lots of boil off. Added 2qts hot water at 18 minutes. Bad idea, diluted everything
Original gravity 12 Brix (1.048)
Pitching temp was 68-70F
Fermented in boil kettle with cold water at 60-62F for 9 days then added to temp fridge at 68F. SG when added to fridge was 1.010.
Beer is darker than expected. Will let sit at 68F for 2 days then crash cool in boil kettle with ice before bottling.
