Notes
Brew day 3/1/22: completed mash. Double crushed grains. Mashed 148F for 60 min.
Brew day 3/2: Boiled and cooled to 66F in kegerator.
O.G pre-boil = 1.066, volume = 4.45 gallons (squeezed BIAB volume)
Boiled to 3 gallons in 30 minutes (high boil rate due to less wort in kettle and high power)
Added DI water to get 3.5 gallons. O.G. = 1.084
Used 2 pouchs of yeast without starter. Fermentation was fast and highly attenuated.
Fermentation at 66F, rising to 68F, then brought inside for final finish and dry hop. Temp rose to low 70s.
Dry hopped around 3/5 when most of ferm activity had subsided.
