Notes
Heated mash water in 20gal mash tun, added grain, temp was 155-156° , 2-3° high.
Used grant to collect wort by gravity and recirculate with pump, and heat mash tun to keep at 153°F. Worked great.
Used hop spider during boil.
Used plate chiller into fermenter at 66°F, pitched yeast. I used Mangrove Jack M10 Workhorse and Don used Mangrove Jack M79 Burton Union yeast.
Had some fermentation activity the next morning, by 24 hours had a nice krausen and going very well at 36h. Temp 66-67°F.
2.24.14 Ferm peaked and started to slow. hit 70°, cooled to 67°
2.25.14 Temp about 64°, put heat belt on to warm up, ferm much slower.
3.3.14 Ferm finished, racked to secondary, FG 1.014. 76% attenuation. Had at least an extra 1/2 gallon that I chucked.
3.8.14 Kegged and carbonated.
New Notes:
Had 4 50ml tubes of Munich Lager yeast from 12.15.15 Vienna Lager starter. Pitched into 1L starter for 24h, crashed for 24h decanted and poured in a 3L starter.
7 gallons strike water = 5.25ml PA
6 gallons total in HLT for sparge = 1.5ml PA
