Notes

This kind of recipe just doesn't translate well with the BeerSmith software. I had great extraction and deep color for the grain bill due to the lengthy decoctions and long vigorous boil; 1.104 This recipe was a split batch, 1/2 (5gal) fermented with 1056 and the other 1/2 fermented with 1318. For the 1056 I bought to slap packs and made a 4L starter, I acquired the 1318 at Hopworks that was top cropped from an IPA. Both batches ramped up a vigorous fermentation and then slowed dramatically, which was expected as I kept temp at lower end of ferment range. The 1318 came to a standstill at S.G. of 1.044 so I pulled 2qt off and boiled with some DME and water to make a 1gal nutrient rich weak wort. I then added 3gal of stalled beer after rousing yeast vigorously to the weak wort, aerated well and set to ferment at 74F. It took off and after high grausening I added all back to the remaining 1318 beer and kept at 74F for 4 more days then let drop to 65F. To be continued...
