Notes

Based on the recipe ‘Hoppiness Is An IPA’ Zainasheff, Jamil; Palmer John. Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew (p. 186). Brewers Publications. Kindle Edition. Rons notes: But with lots of whirlpool hops and dry hopping. All to add plenty of hop aroma without much hop bitterness. 12/10 08:00 lit fire This was a double brew day. This IPA was brewed 1st along with Barney the Wellder 3 gal brewed second. Preboil target gravity 1.056 Actual 1.039 with 4.5 gallon pre boil volume per Bersmith. Proceeded anuway. I will use hop socks next time to prevent excessive hop trub. Post boil target gravity 1.067 after 60 minute boil. Actual 1.059. So I continued the boil for another 15 minutes. My worry is this: The 10 minute hop addition for flavor and aroma now is now a 25 minute boil. Hopefully this will be more flavor but not too much bitterness. Refracometer redeing afier 75 minute boil 1.0624. Proceed to chill. Chilled through my Dudadiesel plate chiller to 68F on dial and out to fermenter Hop residue was high. I strained through a wire basket strainer to help keep out og feremter. With liquid loss in hoses 2 gallons in fermenter. I rinsed out the kettle and pump and hoses with fresh water to clean all the hop residue before proceed with the vorlauf of the the DIPA second brew. Using Tilt in Fermenter actual temperature went from 68F to 76F. Need to calibrate output analog temperature gage! 12:54 I piched yeast without first checking Tilt temp. It was initially said 68 then jumped up to 78F. I hope the yeaast is still healthy. 12/11 07:00 Foaming nicely but Tilt is not showing any change in gravity yet. 11/12 07:00 still not showing activity so I added oxygen set at 2 for about 40 seconds 16:00 not much change 12/13 08:00 changed from 1.064 10 1.059 with a 1 degree F rise in temp 15:00 1.054 still at 64F 12/25 13:15 cold crashed by moving fermenter to keezer .
