MASH
Started mash @ 12:50
3.7 gal at 149 F
Did not account for amount of water retained by grain.
Increase the volume water used to mash
SPARGE
~ 3 gallons at 158 F
Sparge water wasn't up to temp. Sparge at 170 F to mash out and stop sugars from breaking down further. Also should have sparged more to increase the volume of the wort to at least 7 gallons.
For both steps had trouble with the vourlaf. Need to learn how to do that better. Might try using a larger container to recirculate to let the grain settle more, or maybe I just need to pour the wort back on top more gently.
Started the boil with 5.5 gallons of wort.
Boiled 90 minutes, added hops for the last 30 minutes.
I probably should have boiled for a shorter time to avoid reducing the volume as much as I did. May also want to consider adding hops earlier to increase isomerization of alpha acids to get the right IBU. Maybe use less hops in the process to get the IBU right.
Boil finished with ~ 3.5 - 4 gallons remaining.
The color of the wort at this stage was much darker than I expected. But I believe that it will lighten up significantly during fermentation and will appear much lighter in the bottle.
Specific gravity at the end of the boil was 1.056. Failed to measure it before the boil.
Chilled wort to room temp in a cold water bath in my tub.
Not very happy with this step as infection is a concern at this stage. Doing any part of this process in the bathroom or the tub isn't ideal. I should probably invest in a better wort chilling system.
Pitched the yeast at ~6:20.
By 11:00 that night, saw initial signs of fermentation. The airlock was bubbling and there was some motion in liquid. Krausen was already starting to form.
After 3 days, the color of the beer is getting much lighter. Fermentation still going strong.

Notes: Note: Unmalted wheat in the recipe is Danish Unmalted spelt (unavailable on malt list here).
NOTE: Actual efficiency for this brew =61%. Adjust accordingly. Efficiency drop due to high mash temp and large unmalted portion.
Water:
CPH tap. No adjustments.
6ml lactic (4 strike/ 2 sparge)
13L strike water
8L sparge
Mash:
Strike at 79C for 71C target.
60min rest
Mash out at 77C.
Sparge with hot tap water (50C).
Collect 17L.
Boil:
60 min
Hops in per schedule.
Chill to sub 40C. Move wort to FV, then to ferm fridge to come to pitch temp.
Pitch ~500ml of TYB Funktown starter.
Ferment @18C for 5 days. Raised to 20C for another week following.
Dryhop:
50g oktawia
50g pulawski
Added after 7 days for 3 days
BREWDAY NOTES
Brewed 19/05/2020
12L strike water. 4ml lactic
Strike temp: 79.5C
Mash temp start: 72.5C
End temp: 69C
Mashed out at 78C
Sparged with 9L. 2ml lactic. 10min to avoid too much beta amalase conversion.
Kettle full at 17L (3L extra of sparge running boiled separately).
NOTE: these extra 3L were not required to "liquor back" with as the efficiency was much lower than the 75% calculated. High mash temp/high unmalted grist with no protein rest = low efficiency.
Boiled for 75mins. Hops in at 60min and Flameout/whirlpool.
Chilled to ~35C. KO 14L to bucket. Bucket placed in Ferment fridge set to 16-18C
OG: 1.030
14L
Pitched 20/05/20
Approx 1L of TYB Funktown starter (gen 2) pitched.
Fermented for 5days at 16C according to wine fridge thermostat (internal temp maybe 1-2C higher).
Allowed to freerise from day 5 to 17C (perhaps 18C internally). Swirled gently to rouse yeast.
Dryhop: 27/05/2020
50g pulawski
50g oktawia
Added day 7.
Swirled gently.
Packaged: 04/06/2020
Approx 11L
Aimed for 2.3vol but probably got closer to 2.4vol theoretically. 63g table sugar, 15C actual beer temp.
Left warm for ___ days. Then moved to ___C basement.
FG: 1.008
ABV: 2.89% (fuck yeah)
