Notes: 2 Day (first of fermentation) the temperature fall down at 2,5.
I decide to change fermentator, rise up temperature with CIP, and add 1KG of US 05.

1200 litri 18,1
add 300 litre juice become 18,4
add 300 liter in fermentor become 18,7

Wanted 158 mash. Hit a bit low.

Mash in went well, heated water to 178, trying to hit 158. Hit more like 152, recirculated through herms to bring it up, got to about 155 after 20 minutes.

Mash pH 5.25. Took another mash pH and it was like 5.15. Not sure what's going on, I didn't add any acid knowing there was a lot of dark malt in there, probably should have raised the pH a bit knowing the HCO was low from the 70% RO water.

Boil Gravity high. Real high so we decided to only boil for 60 minutes.
OG: 29 brix, 1.124 This is crazy high. When I do the efficiency adjustment to get it this high it means we have 81% efficiency. How is this possible, our efficiencies have been much lower on this system, and this malt bill is only 58% base malts! Some other notes: there was almost 2.5 gallons extra run-off. I'm wondering about the water calculations, it seems the last couple batches we have had too much. I made sure not to add a gallon of water to any of the starting water volumes this times like I have in the past. One caveat: I forgot to look at the volume of the HLT before I went to put the 14 gallons of sparge in the mash tun. I THINK it was 38, because I think I kept both volumes of water the same (original strike water and the sparge water). Also, I forgot to look at the ending kettle volume just before we transferred to the fermenter, but I do remember yelling to Erik that it was 35 gallons with just a few minutes of boil left, wondering if we should transfer that much or leave a few gallons behind. I know we started with right at 40 gallons before boil, so a 5 gallon / hr. boil is a pretty vigorous one.

Pitched yeast around 5pm. This is the yeast we harvested from the Scottish Ale. The yeast we used in the Scottish Ale was Omega British 1, which is their version of 007. We had about 3 L between a few containers and then when it had all settled, a very thick slurry of about 1.6 L.

So...No action Sunday morning. No action in the afternoon. Erik came over and we stirred it with the long handled mash paddle. Very strange and concerning. Then, we did filled a hydrometer and did a reading. 1.090. WHAT??? Did a refractometer and 23.2 Brix, = 1.097. Both are WAAAYYY low. So weird. Were all of our refractometer readings way off yesterday? So weird....what to believe.

4-16-19. Once it took off, it went great. Once it got rolling I adjusted temp to around 63-64, that's where it was at during vigorous fermentation. Once it slowed down after a few days, I raised it a bit. It's been fermented at 68 last couple days, bubbles now about 15 seconds. Gravity tonight: 1.047. Appearance is real thick, chocolatey. Tastes super chocolatey! There's a lot of yeast in suspension yet, but still tastes like chocolate!

5-9-19. I have been chilling it down, it's been at 35 for the last couple days, gonna keg it this weekend. FG is 1.040 Tasting a lot of dark chocolate. Not the "sweetest" beer.

Notes: 2 packs of M31 used after rehydration (in 100ml water - less than suggested).

Started at 18c ferment then raise to about 24c over a week.

Temp rise was about 1c per day for the first 6 days. It was struggling to warm up after a couple of days I guess because of very cold garage. Was in my largest fridge with only a copper tun heat pad for warmth.

Added sugar as a syrup after 7.5 days in primary. Loads of estery smells from fridge at this point.

Notes: use sanitized dry hopper thing to siphon beer from kettle

cold crashed prior to transfer and found that the beer was clear enough at that point - next time, plan it so that I do this the day of the event for maximum freshness

Notes: Inspired by guest Mike from Zebulon Astizan Ales on Experimental Brewing E95. NEIPA with 8 oz Chinook @ whirlpool and 8oz dry hop.

**update** changed hop bill to split whirlpool addition and added a late addition per Scott Janish episode on Brulosophy.

Whirlpool hop utilization % estimated per: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/effect-post-boilwhirlpool-hop-additions-bitterness-beer/

Single infusion mash at 153°F for 60 minutes. Adjust mash pH with phosphoric acid (target 5.3 pH). Lauter then boil for 55 minutes (cut 5 min short due to new stove/setup w/higher boil off rate). After flameout, chill to 195°F and add whirlpool hops (10 minute contact time) hop addition. Knockout. Pitch yeast starter along with. Ferment at 68°F. Add dry hop at high krausen (day 2/3). Rack to keg and force carbonate to 2.6 vol. (5.2 g/L) CO2.

Notes: Best described as a premium bitter or ESB. My personal take on beers like Morlands Old Speckled Hen or Greene King Abbot Ale, not meant to be a clone. These beers when drunk from the keg tend to be reduced in ABV due to UK drink driving laws but still available in bottles at around 5.0%
