Notes
I used the hops I had on hand.
Bottle in swingtop
start at 02:00 PM.
grain + strike water = 124F
00:02 = 123f
00:05 = 122f
00:15 = 122f
00:28 = 119f - Heating at medium intensity
00:30 = 120f - heating at medium/high
00:41 = 142f
00:43 = 144f
00:52 = 151f - turned off heat
1:00 = 6.18 pH @ 23.2c, added ~60 ml phosphorous 10% result was PH 5.12 ( target was 5.60 )
Added 1g of chalk and 1g of baking soda = 6.12 pH
1:14 = 153f - removed from heat
Added 22.5ml hosphorous 10% result was PH 5.17 @ 27.17C ( target = PH 5.5m not sure why it keeps overrunning. not adjusting anymore)
1:18 = 152f
1:27 = 152f
1:37 = Iodine test showed incomplete conversion. Postponing mash out ( will use hotter sparge water to reach mash out temperature )
PH 5.46 @24.4C
1:51 = 155f
1:52 = Iodine test shows conversion still incomplete. Adding 1/2 tea spoon of amylase and waiting for 10 extra minutes
2:02 = water is still not hot enough for the sparge ( target 90c ), waiting.
Adding 14g of Nugget hops for first wort in the bucket
When the water reached 85c, started the lauter. iodine test shows a decrease in starches and taste is sweater.
put the grain and the sparge water in the pot, temp was too high, 175f. agitate vigourously. ( calculation was done for grain + water, should have been just grain ).
Pre-boil: hydometer: 1.036, Refractometer: 1.036 / 9.4 brix . Added 250g dextrose to raise to ~5%. now hydro says 1.044 and refract says 1.040 / 10.3 brix
used the lid to keep a good boil while letting the pot evaporate.
Post-Boil: refractomer 1.041 / 10.6 , hydrometer 1.050 @ 20c
Put the pot on Ice-bath + simple copper chiller. activate the yeast.
7:45: 200f
8:00: 120f
8:10: 100f
8:25: 90f
8:35: 86f
8:45: 83f
9:02: 78f
9:25: 76f
9:30: 75f
9:35: 74f
9:45: 73f
9:55: 72f
siphon into clean and aseptized pot, splashing to aerate.
pitched at 10:00 ( package only had started to swell, confirmed the nutrient pack was broken ).
No activity after 2 hour. went to bed. 11AM, started rising to the top. 12:15 foam covers the top now. by 2PM there was a krausen.
11PM: strong sulphur odor. was 26c ambient in the house.
after 48 hours, odor was gone. Threw in the Ekuanot cryohop (1oz).
