Notes

Absolutely terrible brew day! After I started mashing I noticed I had the wrong BeerSmith equipment profile. I added too much water to the mash at the wrong strike temp. Struggled holding mash temp. The average temp was probably 158F. I finished 1 gallon short of targeted 5.25g. I boiled a gallon of water and used it to top off. After that it took several hours for wort to cool to pitching temp. Pitched 1300ML of starter wort. Target pitching rate 0.75. Missing 4 oz of Acidulated Malt recipe originally called for. Set aside 1 pint it wort in a mason gar to sour. No hydrometer to take FG reading on bottling day. Samples were excellent. Added sour beer four days before bottling. Tasted like Brett, like Brett from barrel aging. Gave beer complexity and blended nicely with roasted malt.
