Notes

mashed in and used inversion to 167.5 to try to strike dough in at 165, with 48 degree weather dropped to 164 by the time I moved cind blocks, set up hot plate and waited till I got 164.3, initial strike temp was calc at 3.5 over to hit 148

  • even with lower temp still hit 148 and over
    **Thermwell is acturate but has delay - when lid goes on the cooled thermell thinks it's too low and runs hot plate
    -This caused 152 temp at 10 minutes, cooled outside kettle with ice block which worked well, went too low to 145
    -temp stabelized at set 148
    -hit mash pH at 5.25
    **7 gallons and 20lb grain is absolute max. Probable should have done less
    -a little over 6 gallons after extra 1/2 gallon added, gravity 1.075
    -basket continued to hang and drip
  • added 1lb dextrose ate 10 min.
    -put 1 1/2 teaspoon lactic acid, after whirlpool 5.017 so added another 1/2 teaspoon,
    -final 5 gallons, 1.093, 5.09 pH, pitch 64
    -decanted 3 liter verdant starter made night 2 days before, I was thinking maybe 2 packs of yeast wouldn've been better
    -clearzyme and aldc enzyme added
