Taste Notes

After clarifier, brilliantly clear and poundable. Would brew again.

Notes

Sparge water 3.81 gallons at 180°F During decoction - mash stuck - scored with paddle to get going Decoction heating slowed through 145-155 range to allow for some saccharification - none evident by taste Actual temps - Protein Rest 124°F and Saccharification - 153°F Mash stuck again during sparge - again scored with paddle to get going - temp during sparge fell to 149°F during these shenanigans Boil - at zero time - 1.050 at 27m in 1.054. End of boil OG 1.056. *NOTE* Hops were "fresh hops" whole cones from Hop Union for both early and late hops Johnson controls in converted deep freeze at 65°F for primary ferm. Good activity in smack pack.
