Notes

St. Louis water (think Budweiser) from 1993 (profile):
Chloride (ppm)
Calcium (ppm) 21.0
Magnesium (ppm) 10.7
Sodium (ppm) 19.6
Sulfate (ppm) 66.9
Chloride (ppm) 20.6
Bicarbonate (ppm) 21

Note, did a boil in the bag mash, so the sparge was a batch soak in warm water for about 10 min. Let the contents in the bag drain thoroughly.

Using Hawkesbury city water supply, added 0.3gr potassium metabisulfite to 10 gal to reduce chlorine and chloramine.

After day 8, moved the beer into the secondary fermentation unit. And performed a diacetyl rest at 68 deg. F., for 5-days. Day 10 I added 10ml of Clarity Ferm, and day 14, moved the beer into the cold conditioning phase, dropping the temperature slowly to 34 deg. F.
