Notes

6.75 gal heated to 186. Dropped to 176 then stirred to 165. Dough in with additional temp drop to 151. Stirred until 149.5. PH was 5.4. Fell on its own to 148.3. Added another qt of boiling water ZERO change. Continued to reduce to 147.2. In the future let it go at 1.5 to 2 above final target.
8.5 gal collected into boil kettle after allowing mash tun to drip for 30 more minutes. Boiled for about 75 min. 5.75 gal into fermenter at 1.075. Forgot Clarifying tablet.
After 16 days 4.8 gal of beer (50 bottles) was packaged in Belgian bottles with 10 oz (283 grams of sugar) along with a small Kveik yeast starter to assist in rapid carbonation and stored at 78° for a week.
