Notes
Used 7 gal (bottom of mash tun 152.5 and top was 148.5 for average 150.5) to steep for 75 minutes.
After first runnings, 4.5 gallons in boil kettle with OG = 1.082.
Added 4 gallons spare water at 168.3.
Total boil volume at 8.25. Added 0.25 gallons water.
Post mash OG = 1.053.
Continued recipe as described.
Boil time increased to 60 minutes before second hops and liquid candi syrup.
After 36 hours no fermentation present (think I shocked the yeast), added two imperial yeasts (200 billion cells each), and fermentation went crazy. Ended up open fermenting for 24 days. Slowly raising temperature up 78 degrees. Transferred to secondary on September 29, 2019. Tasted great. 2 weeks in the fermenter.
Kegged on 12/1. FG =1.010
ABV = 10.2%
