Notes: * strike water 4.25gal at 165
* 1sp calc chloride to strike water
* ambient temp 35F, mash temp 154 (read 144 at first) after mash-in
* mash temp dropped to 146F over time, bumped back up to 151 when heater kicked in at ~40min, then back to 147 by end of 60min mash
* Started heating to mash-out temp of 165 at 60min
* Reached 161F by 25min, raised target mash-out temp to 170F to go faster
* Only 164 at 37min, but had to move on
* Sparge with 2.75gal took 60 minutes (probably waited too long for it to finish)
* Captured 5.75gal in boil kettle
* Gravity at 1.051 (1.032 @ 154F) - is this right? I think I saw the same pattern last batch. High mash-out gravity but "normal" post boil gravity
* Boil complete with 4.5gal at 1.054 (right at 73% brehouse efficiency. Something is wrong with how gravity readings at mash-out are informing brewhouse efficiency)
* Pitched additional yeast packet (hydrated) 2/20 due to lack of visible activity (not sure if this was necessary)
* More activity later in the day observed
* Gravity check 1/25 1.016
* Gravity check 1/30 1.015
* Kegged
Next time
* try to configure PID for tighter temp range, maybe lower heater duty cycle to limit overshooting?
* set mash-out to 170 to get to 165 faster
* Should not have pulled 1/2gal out vs prior brewday. Note Volume in and volume out here (7gal -> 4.5gal). Add 1gal?

Notes: Cold side dry hop really works leave nice fruit notes but subtle....definitely do again
DH 21-mar-2025
FG 1.012 20-Mar-25 Force diacetyl test complete crashed to 8 for final DH as above
Hopefully FG dry enough......only had 1 pkt of saflager S-189...
I think the Mash Thermometer is erratic, mash getting too high and creating unfermentable sugars
Gel in 24-Mar
FG readings taken over last 3 days (Today 26-apr), stable @ 1.011. Subtle Tropical fruit flavours, stronger than last time hopefully ok when cold and carbonated fully.
