Notes

21/07/2020
Water PH: 7.25. Treated with 5.3g CaCl

No sparge process, 20L mash water

Target temperature 68C

Mash PH - 5.49

Pre-boil SG 1.035

Pre-boil vol = 18L approx

Post-boil vol = 13.5L (a lot more than expected, guess boil-off loss calc needs a tweak)

Final SG - 1.042. 80% efficiency

26/07/2020 - Gravity at 1.008
28/07/2020 - Gravity at 1.007 (still ticking along)
