Notes

Step Mash: 3 gallons H2O @ 150 for 20 min mash @ 119
1.5 gallons H2O @ 185 for 20 min mash @ 133
2.5 gallons H2O @ 209 for 20 min mash @ 147
Total 11.5 gallons H2O in HLT
90 minute boil.
Came in light again OG - 1.051. Not sure if that is due to the age of the malt or the inability to maintain mash temps.
Wort chilled to 68 and yeast added.
No yeast nutrient, no O2. In the chest freezer at 54.
