Notes
  • Off the heat 167-168F. Mashed in and closed up the mash tun at 153-154.
  • After 1 hr mash, 151-152
  • Initial runoff SG: 1.070
  • Sparge runoff SG: 1.025

    -Preboil SG: 1.041
    Post Boil SG: 1.055

    For Recipes moving forward, increasing the brew kettle losses to 4 quarts.

    Trying to keep the swamp cooler at ~60-65F for as much of the fermentation process as possible.

    Other yeast to try with this beer is Imperial Yeast L13
