Notes
First time using new brew setup. make sure you heat up sparge water when mashing.
Original gravity was 1.047
Lots of whole hops got into fermenters because of lots of trub. Next time use whole hops, will use bags.
mashed at somewhere between 140 and 156... didn't stir enough, I need a better mash paddle. 3 readings 140, 156, and 148 before mash... had to add ice because original readings were 160. added 1 gallon pitcher full of icecubes. to the mash to get the grain temp down... Hot as hell outside, looked like 100 in the sun.
After 60 minute mash got readings of 148, 144, 144
Fermentation had starter. Used 1 wyeast smack pack for both batches. Did starter 6 days out. had lots of happy yeast going in. decanted the .5 L to about .2 liters then split that. Had quick response of great white tiny bubbles about 1 inch thick after 12 hours. 1 week later still have good kraisen on top.
Will do secondary tomorrowThis Recipe Has Not Been Rated
