Notes: Something will always go wrong during mash. Before it was coming in six or so degrees under temperature but this time I hit the temperature exactly right. I hit it too well. It was 152, not 148, so I added more water. It hit 148 and I decided to add the rest of the water, which was not just the mash volume of 6.25 quarts but that volume plus the 3.8 I had reserved for mash out. So I mashed in about 9.75 quarts to 5 lbs of grain and at about 147 after I'd made the mistake of using up all my water.
It worked fine. I vorlaufed twice and then batch sparged with 3 quarts in two batches.
When topped up to 3.6 gallons I had a gravity of 1.04 which meant 79% efficiency. Very good.
I boiled for 60 minutes
1.5 oz of tettnanger for 60 min,
0.75 oz of tettanager for 20 min
1 tsp irish moss w/ 10 min left in boil
Cooled in ice bath. It took 9 minutes for the temperature to go under 170 and stop extracting alpha acids.
Racked to 6.5 gal carboy, topped up to 5.25 gal.
Chilled to 51.6 degrees f
Took sample for gravity reading and to check color. Gravity was a perfect 1.060. Perfect.
Color was a rich mahogany with a whisper of red.

Pitched yeast slurry at midnight 7/10/2022.
Not much lag time. Most of the actual fermentation occurred between 49 and 51f for the first 4 days. I allowed the temperature to rise to about 53/54f and held it there for the next 3 days.
After 8 days fermentation had slowed significantly and I recorded a gravity reading of 1.016. I stopped replenishing the frozen 2 liters I use to cool the fermentation chamber and let the temp rise over the next 6 days to the room temp of 65. I figured this would allow the yeast to finish out the fermentation and also function as a slow-moving diacetyl rest.
I was pleased to find that the temp rose fairly slowly, about 2.5 degrees per day. The 2 liter bottles stayed cold to the touch even after they had thawed. That insulated barrel bag works great.
On 7/21 I recorded a gravity reading of 1.012, my exact target gravity. I'm hoping it stays put there.
9/26 - Fined with gelatin, recorded a gravity reading of 1.011, just a hair over my target FG. Color is darker than expected. Not by much but enough that from now on I think we need to do late additions on all the extracts.

Notes: Brewed on 10/19/20. Target mash temp was 148-150. Ended up at 152 with no drop after about 70 minutes. I knew at this point the FG would be a little high, which it was. I added more bittering hops in the boil to compensate, resulting in a porter balanced between grain bitterness and hop bitterness.
Two starters used. First was 300 ml then added another 1000 ml before pitching. Very active fermentation which pushed the limits of the blowoff hose.
Bottled on 11/1. Ran short on DME. Needed 170g but only had 160g so I substituted the last 10 g with corn sugar.
First taste on 11/15. Perfect carbonation. Medium/rich mouthfeel, Nice hop/grain balance for a porter, still leaning toward grain bitterness slightly. Not sweet at all. Head is very dark brown. I'm happy with this one. |
