30 gallons, added LME
90min boil (volume reduction)
30min hops (in spice ball)
Stainless steel cool ~45 minutes (pretty quick)
Pitched full inflated pack at 65F, 9pm 3/14
OG 1.044 according to Tilt
Note: darker than expected. Probably caramelized some of the LME.
Next morning, ~61F. Basement is ~50F. Small bubbles at 10am, gentle but active (light foam head, airlock sporadic)
1:24pm 1.040 57F. Still a small but noticeable fluffy head.
Plan after finishing: Crash, Gelatin... figure out cold and crash method.
