Notes
2016-04-08
Re-brew of the 2016-01-17 batch. Mashed for 12G. Mash temp got high, 157F. Fly sparged and ended up with a total of 13.25G. Split about 5.5G off to 10G kettle, ended up with about 7.5G in 15G BK.
15G BK:
Didn't have enough Citra for all boil additions so I changed those up a small amount, aiming for the same IBU.
OG: 15.2B=1.061! Way too high! I have changed my mill setting from the last time I brewed this. Got roughly 85% instead of 68%. Adding only 5G of this to 6.5G carboy + 1G boiled tap water ended up with OG: 1.052.
Another reason for the increased efficiency could be the fly sparge. Typically eff is increased with fly sparging.
During 1st 20min of WP, temp dropped to 180F.
Put 6.5G carboy in freezer at 40F.

Started raising freezer temp and by 10pm the worts were at 55F. Pitched 2.2L Conan starter. Shook to incorporate air. Set temp to 68F and attached probe.
