Notes

Brewed on 10/3/2020.

8 gallons of strike water @ 158.5 degrees F. Actual Mash temp = 153 degrees F. After 30 minutes, temp = 150 degrees F. After 60 minute mash, temp = 147 degrees F.

starting vol = 7.25 gallons after mash. SG = 12.5 Brix = 1.0505 g/L
Final volume = 5.5 gallons. 4.75 into carboy. OG = 1.059 g/L aka 14.5 Brix
On 10/7/2020 I raised temp to 70 plus/minus 3 degrees F.

On 10/8/2020 the Brix read 7.3, which after correction for EtOH is 1.012 g/L. Started lowering temp for clarity. 10 degrees a day until temp = 40 degrees F.

Kegged on 10/15/2020. Hydrometer gravity = 1.013 g/L (I used this FG). Only yielded about 4.25 to 4.5 gallons. I need to bump up mash water next time.
