Notes

Brewed 5/22/2021 with Zach the hop master.

Gravity 1.070 @ 45 minutes.
Gravity 1.075 @ 60 minutes.
Gravity 1.078 @ 70 minutes.

Mash out raise temperature to 170 for 15 minutes.
Gravity after mash out @ 1.082.

Sparge 6 gallons over 30 minutes.
Gravity 1.042 pre boil. Low. Maybe much sparge.??


30 min remaining - Add 1 oz Chinook.
15 min remaining - add 1/2 tsp. yeast nutrient and 1 tsp Irish moss
3min remaining - add 1 oz Centennial and 1 oz Simcoe
Final gravity 1.051. Lower than expected. Check grain bill for next 6 gallon batch.

 *Kegging<br />

Jan 2021... A little too bitter. Reduce Boil Hops and reduce overall hop quantity?
