1.064 pre-boil gravity way above...but I will be adding 4 litres of chilled water to the fermentor to bring down the temps quickly. Option if another 2 litres if gravity is too high (dilution calculator suggests 6 litres needed in total).
6 litres added to bring to 20l. 1.051 so used dilution calculator that suggested adding 1 more litre. Wait for it to cool to pitching temps before taking another reading. 21 litres in the fermentor. Only 1 litre from the target and should be on the button with OG....should be...
Pitched yeast ar 20c and after four days pushed temps up to 22c then 23c and then 24c. Keeping the FC here for the next 5 days and take a reading 3 days before expected bottling day.
Yeast was true and yeast cake from previous Dubbel Trubel brew.
Day 11 reading 1.007. Beyond target. Probably due to massive overpitch of yeast.
2 weeks bottle conditioning and there is a very forward medicinal flavour...suspect either tub and yeast from the pitch or Hersbrucker hop...
Shall not be using Endeavor hops ever again and will have to see how Hersbrucker manages as a bittering hop in my next brew...live and learn
