Notes

7/9/2021:

  • Brewed with Murphy & Rude near-equivalent malts
  • Oops -- my pot only holds 8 gallons. I removed a half-gallon from the mash, otherwise it wouldn't've all fit. (So I started with 6.5 gallons.)
  • After all was said and done, I was left with around 4.33 gallons, so I topped off to 5 gallons from the sink. But then my gravity reading was low. I realized I hadn't given the bag a good squeeze, so I went back and did it. Then I siphoned out some of the brew and added in my new squeezings (but didn't siphon more after that, for a new OG reading, oops).
  • Also, I was out of ice (long story), so I couldn't really properly chill it. I pitched at 80F (I know, I know :S).


    10/19/2021:

    The last brew turned out fantastic. Tasty, malty, hoppy enough, lovely clarity. I'd be happy to drink it every day. So I'm trying again.

    This time, I used these Murphy and Rude malts:

  • 7.5lbs VA Pils
  • 1.25lbs Munich type 2
  • 1lbs Crystal 40

    Also, I'm fermenting with Hornindal Kveik, so I expect a pretty different character in the finished beer.

    2/13/2022 - It turned out great again. I'm starting a new recipe based on the mix above.
