Notes

Gordon Strong recipe from BeerSmith Podcast #39 Use RO water not distilled Add phosphoric acid to brewing water before brewing Add water salts to mash, not brewing water Direct-fire step mash Post-boil volume 6.5 gallons; on my system I lose maybe 0.5 gal in transfer from kettle 20 minute whirpool (turn off burner, stir, wait 20 minutes) Use settling tank to remove extra hop particulates before pitching (chill, put in carboy, rack after 1 hour, pitch), this will cause some volume loss. Approx 5.5 gal beer in primary fermenter, leaves about 5.25 gallons finished product Calculated IBUs are too high -- tastes like much less due to FWH and all late hopping
