Notes

Start date 26/09/20
Pitch 26/09/20 (midnight)
Dry Hop 6/10/20
Bottle 10/10/20

Mash temp dropped more than expected - finished at 64.5 degrees. Could have squeezed more with gloves? Luna ate through the grain bag.
Pre-boil gravity spot on - 1.041

Changed hops schedule from 14@30, 28citra@whirlpool, 28cascade@dry-hopped to recorded values - more bitterness, APA/IPA depending on isomerisation/cooling rate.

Hot cube dropped to reasonable temperature within 30 minutes. Pitched at midnight Saturday.
OG into fermenter - 1.055

Dry hop Tuesday (day 12 of 14)

Start mash at 2:30pm - 65 minutes
Start boil at 4:20pm - 65 minutes
Cubed at 5:30pm, iced at 5:40pm

Bottled Sunday 11th - FG of 1.010
After one week - gassed up, didn't hold head
