Notes

Water: -Roughly 2 tsp 10% phosphoric acid per 3 gal water to hit 5.5 pH @ room temp (-0.3 to -0.4 @ mash temp) Mash: -Missed temp by a couple degrees. Mashed around 151 for 75 min to ensure complete conversion (looking for lots of simple sugars and a highly attentuated finished beer). -Pre-boil Gravity = 1.056 (which if you remove sugar from recipe is exactly what is should be) -Final Runnings pH = 5.9 Boil: -Collected ~7.5gal for 90 min boil to reduce DMS (also don't cover at flame out, DMS is volatile and will reform if covered). Really wish I could get a more vigous boil going. -Added sugar at 15 min OG = 1.090 (~6 gal) Gravity after 3 weeks (3/30/14) = 1.028 Gravity after 5.5 weeks (4/17/14) = 1.021 -picking up caramel notes with a nice round sweetness in pallete (maybe a bit too sweet still?), slight warmth in a balanced finish, no harshness, no easily discernable fusels like in week three. Brilliantly clear. Very close to done, will agitate by stiring yeast and re check gravity this weekend (FG should be close to 1.014).
