12/27/2021 9:00 PM over 2 years ago	+0	Other				12/28/2021 12:42 AM over 2 years ago	Ah...snap! - had the wort all the way down to 140 and realized that I didn't add in the corn sugar. So much for that I guess. I considered heating up the wort again but was tired. Guess this will end up in the high 5% range and will be insanely hoppy. There certainly are worse things... I had to scoop out the hop sludge with a scoop when cleaning the kettle. It filled the bottom of my 5 gal bucket a good inch of thick hop sludge.

This is nuts maybe the battery is going??? It is certainly not getting up to the 70+ like it said for a bit there as it is 20 something in the garage.
1/2/2022 6:15 PM over 2 years ago	+6	Other				1/2/2022 6:15 PM over 2 years ago	I think the tilt is whacked. Not sure if the patient will make it with those readings. Good thing my temperature control is not based on the tilt's readings. Will have to take a sample and get gravity from there I'm not sure I can trust any of this.
1/8/2022 9:00 PM over 2 years ago	+12	Dry Hopped				1/12/2022 3:39 PM over 2 years ago	4 oz Columbus (Pellet) for 12 days 4 oz Centennial (Pellet) for 12 days 4 oz Simcoe (Pellet) for 12 days I dropped the yeast sludge out the bottom before dry hopping. Used that little plastic thing from BrewBuilt. Worked pretty well. Since my 'dry hopper' is made with 1.5" TC tubes the 'hopper' was almost 4 feet long. That is a crap ton of hops. They got stuck a lot so had to rap on the tube with a crescent wrench to get all the hops to drop through the butterfly.

Notes

https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/6351/doubleIPA.pdf

Directions: The day before brewing the Pliny the Elder clone beer recipe, prepare a yeast starter sufficient for an OG of 1.080. On brew day, mash the crushed grains at 150°F in approximately 5 gallons of water. Lauter and sparge to collect 7.75 gallons of wort. Bring to a boil. Add hops according to schedule. Mix in corn sugar just before flameout. Ferment at 67°F, slowly raising the temperature to 70°F towards the end of primary fermentation. When most of the yeast has settled, transfer to a secondary fermenter and add the dry hops. Dry hop for 7-10 days. Bottle or keg for 2-2.5 vols CO2 of carbonation.
