Notes

Brewed beer on 1/30/2021.

I used around 2 big teaspoons of 88% lactic acid to get pH to 5.2 for the mash.

Starting Gravity (SG) = 10.1 brix = 1.0404 g/L
% extraction = 40.4 7 gals = (282.8/354.5)100 = 79.8 % extraction

OG = 12.4 brix = 1.0501 g/L
Hydrometer = 1.050 g/L
FG = 1.010 g/L via hydrometer on 2/13/2021

Cooled wort to 55 degrees with JaDed brewing custom wort chiller. Yielded about 5.7 gallons in kettle and 4.8 gallons in carboy.

Direct pitched Fermentis K-97 (German Ale Yeast)

Did not put in fermentation chamber because house temp is around 64 degrees F at all times.

After 1 day of fermentation, temp got up to 70 degrees F in the fermenter so I put in the ferm chamber and dropped temp to 60 degrees F for 9 days then ramped to 70 for 1 day fot D-rest. Then gradually dropped temp to 45 degrees F for 3 days.
