Notes

Water Treatment 1.5:1 sulphate forward.
H2SO4 1.3ml/L
HCl 0.7ml/L
25L mash water alkalinity 30

Mash pH at 20C after 10 minutes of mash just over 5.3.

Towards the end of the 90min mash gravity 1061 giving 89% conversion eff.

Pre boil (post sparge) 29L at 1049. 83% efficiency

In the fermenter I got 20L at 1060. I left behind quite a lot in the boiler, as I chose to only go for the very brightest wort.

Overall brewhouse efficiency 70%.

16/1 - brew day
20/1 - dropped from 1060 to 1020, so added the 1kg of sugar (effectively adding 20 gravity points)
22/1 - dropped to 1025 - and smelling very belgium!
