Notes: - Brewed on 9/19/20
- Mash water = 6.49 gallons (24.6 liters)
- Sparge water = 2.16 gallons (8.2 liters)
- Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had 26.5 liters or 7.0 gallons (could have been more too but I pulled the grain basket). Should be ~7.1 after DME addition. Was closer to 7.3.
- Expecting mash efficiency of 84% (expanded wort with Grainfather, same with Brewer's Friend this time) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.074, then adding [2 lb 1.6 oz] of DME to get pre-boil gravity to 1.091. I want to maintain a 1.35 quarts per pound water to grist ratio in grainfather so need to limit malt bill to 16.5 pounds. Actually only had 75% mash efficiency and hit 1.065 pre boil gravity, then added 3 pounds of DME to get to 1.081. Also extended boil to 120 minutes to try and hit target OG target. Was able to hit 1.098.
- Mash temp settled right it at ~154F
- Hit 19.6 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.081 vs. 1.091 (1.077 + .014) target so ~75% mash efficiency vs. 84% expected.
- Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons so boil-off tool estimates 1.099 OG.
- After boil had ~6.X gallons (expected 6.0) in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter.
- Pitched the yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 65F,
- Packaged on 9/30/20, batch #47, FG was 1.016 (at 69F) which converts to 1.017 so 83% attenuation vs 71% avg. and 73% expected
- Fill keg to 52.17 pounds = (1.017FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.74 (empty keg weight) |

Notes: Brew Day - September 30, 2018
0830 - start with prep, grinding grain, heating tap water shooting for about 172° F.
0910 - Add grain and 10 qts H20 to mash at 155.5° F
1010 - Lautered with 178°F water to mash out at no more than 170° F for 30 min (actual temp = 167° F)
1040 - Sparged 9.5 gal @ 11 Brix 1.044)
1245 - pitched hops
1445 - cooled, landed at 1.070
1530 - cleaned up and fermented warmer than I would like. Cellar was around 73° F (warm Fall)
_____
October 9, 2018 - Add 2 quarts Very Best Strong Dark Baking (old Grade B/C) Maple Syrup, 3 split vanilla beans, and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon in secondary. First heated all to 200°F and allowed to cool covered. Racked beer onto sugars, beer was at 1.025 SG (attenuation of .65%)
December 17, 2017 - Finally finished and racked it to a keg...the secondary ferment took a long time to kick off but when it finally did (approx 4-5 days into the secondary) it bubbled about once every 10 seconds for a month. FG was 1.022 in the end so all sugar fermented but it is still sweet. We'll see how it balances |
