Taste Notes
Jason thinks its not sweet enough (wort).
12/6/2012 - Tried chilled with CO₂ attached @ 13 PSI.
Good, clean flavor with mild hop aroma.
Not carbonated enough, mildly effervescent, bumped to 20 PSI and left overnight until .
Notes
2-2.2 oz @ 5.57 = 5.5-6.0 AAU's
Added Ph adjuster (5.2) (2 Tbsp) then mashed for 60 minutes.
NO SPARGE! Tested wort just after boil (chilled to 78°F); Measured (adj) 1.040"
Added 2 Whirlfloc tablets @ 5 min left to end of boil
Cooled wort into 6.5 gallon carboy and 7.0 gallon bucket .
Measured @ 60°F, same as yeast (Am. Ale Yeast).
Oxygenated and added yeast.
Ended up with less beer because no sparge and not a proper gravity beer.
