Notes

Fairly smooth brew day today. Changed up a few hops at the last moment to what is now in the reicpe, due to availability. First of all, no C120 in the next batch. I just don't think it is necessary. 6 oz in 25# of 2-row even is too much. Tightened up the crush a little bit this time and got a little better efficiency. Also, started the vourlauf a little slower. I got two batch sparges (which were a little thick) but think that helped the efficiency as well. Boiled 15 mins extra to gain a little bit of the lost gravity. Boiled over 2x. Whirlpooled the batch at 170 for 30 mins. Then split the batch into two kettles. In one, I added 1.5 oz of orange zest. The other none, but will add 1.5oz of zest soaked in vodka. We'll see if there is a difference is taste with that. One potential taste note: I chilled the non-zest beer to 60 (not on purpose) and fermentation started a lot slower in that. The zest beer chilled only to 70 and fermentation took off quicker. I hope that doesn't impart a flavor difference.
