Brew 1 notes: 2/5/21 Didn't take any, but the beer was so frickin tasty.
Brew 2 notes: 5/1/21Used tap water, no adjustments. Had approx. 30L to start, 16L in Mash and 14L in sparge. Had 25.25L pre-boil volume in kettle, 22.0L post boil (60min) and transferred 21.0L into fermenter with the valve closed.
OG: 1.058, FG: 1.006, 6.8% ALC. Fermented at an average of 20°C.
Dry hopped just after high crousin at 1.017 SG (90 hours). Cold crashed at 2°C 51hours after dry hopping. Kegged 40.5 hours after dry hopping, or 25.5 hours after cold crashing.
Dry hopped using the trub container on the fermzilla, which was purged with CO2 prior to opening the butterfly valve. Also put approx. 6 psi into trub container before opening the valve to ensure hops were launched upward into the main fermzilla vessel.
Carbonated in the kegerator at 32psi for 36hours at 3°C, then lowered to 8psi serving pressure.
Cost was: grain $29.37, hops $12.49, yeast $4.99 total $46.85
This beer is smooth but has a spicy rye zip that to my palette is just right.
No further tweaks needed to this recipe.
