Notes

Brewed 6/22/14. Hit 151 on the mash and recirculated about 1 gallon. Mash ph was 5.1 which is way lower than what I expected and what was theoretically calculated. Might splurge on a new meter. Couldn't get it to clear during vorlaugh for some reason either. Have had that issue before but dunno why. I had bad kettle (77%) and overall efficiency again and I am really not sure why. I don't think it's from sparging too quickly. It's possible that the pH meter isn't off and I am really getting low efficiency. The last few beers I have made have been low efficiency. Maybe I am not getting full conversion. I also didn't drain all of the wort off I could from the boil kettle so I had to top off with about a half gallon of water which may have played a factor. I think I had a lot of protein in the boil which played a factor. Temp dropped down to 60F so I heated it back up to 68F. 6/23/14 topped off with half a pound of corn sugar to hopefully boost the gravity up to 6%. Temp was 66F in the morning and had drifted up to 69F by evening. Temp in the morning was about 66F and had crept up to about 69F by evening so I cooled it back down to 66F. Temp was about 67F in the morning and crept up to 69F by the evening so I cooled it back down to 66F. Took out of swamp on 6/26/14. Took gravity reading (1.010) and dry hopped on 7/6. Biofined 7/12. Kegged 7/16/14, very clear.
