Notes

Brew notes April 18 2021:

Forgot to add the brewing salts until about 40 mins into the mash. Strike was 160, initial mash temp was like 156. After 40 mins, temp had dropped all the way to 144. Wouldn't normally re-raise for a NEIPA, but figured I should make up for the likely bad pH by doing a small hochkurz.

---

Phil, Brian & Tom all thought this hop combination was interesting with a bit of stank and some sulfur expression. All agreed that it is too dry--need to up the joose factor through either salt additions, grain adjuncts, or a less attenuative yeast.

---

Brew day 3/14:

Used 2g gypsum, 2g calcium chloride, and 1g salt in the mash. Initial mash temp 155. pH 5.49.

Added 1g gypsum and 4g calcium chloride to the boil.

Dry hopped 2oz Kohatu and 1oz Amarillo on keg day, approx 2 weeks after brewing.

---

Use 3g gypsum, 3g calcium chloride, 1g salt, 1g epsom salt in the mash. Add 3g calcium chloride plus 5g fermaid O in the boil.

From "Lil' Joose's Big Day": Accidentally used the barke munich and acid malt. Strike water was 160 but the grain cooled it down to 143ish. Used 2g calcium, 2g gypsum, 1g each of epsom and kosher salt in the mash. Added 5g of Fermaid O along with 1g gypsum and 4g calcium in the boil.

Initial fermentation temp during day 1 was around 66 deg F. Fermentation eventually reached 77 deg F on approx day 2. Fermentation slowed rapidly from day 2 to day 3. First dry hop on day 3.
