Hit target mash temp of 152
Added 2 tsp gypsum
After 15 minutes checked pH and added 2 more tsp gypsum as pH was 5.8
Mashed full 60 minutes |

Prevented boil over by spraying with water. Did not strain proteins out of the brew to maintain mouthfeel in finished beer.
At full boil added 1 oz Hallertau Tradition hops in hop bag
After some time I sampled wort and got a reading of 1.05. Turns out the reading was wrong when the wort cooled and was placed in the conical.
Immediately added sanitized Jaded Cobra
Added 1 oz Hallertau Tradition hops in hop bag and added whirlfloc tablet after 5 minutes
Flame out after 5 minutes |

Cooled wort with Jaded Cobra chiller to 80 F
Drained to sanitized Bubbler
Aerated wort in Bubbler
Let wort settle as I visited Jenny in hospital
Returned to house after 2 hours and decanted Bubbler into sanitized SS Chronical
Pitched 34/70 dry yeast and set glycol chiller to 13 C
NOTE: Failed to hydrate yeast ahead of pitching resulting in 36 hours before observing any airlock activity
Temp dropped from 20 C to 13 C |

Lacks the depth of maltiness found in Modelo. Curious why?
Color is also more green than golden. Peculiar! |

Definite pear ester, color still has green hue, head is long-lasting and provides nice lacing, clarity is beautiful, and taste is acceptable though lacking in malt boldness. Wonder if the addition of water treatment impacted the flavor outcome? |
