Notes
  • mash with 2tsp chalk, .5tsp CaCl2, .5tsp Epsom Salt, 1.5tsp Baking Soda

  • caramelize sugar by heating in pan until browned and adding immediately to boil
  • add vanilla and cardamom at end of boil, remove vanilla beans before transferring to fermenter

  • Wyeast 4021 added during rack to secondary

    brewed on 1/4/2012
  • OG: 1.098, ~71% efficiency
  • mashed a little too high, for some reason mash temp read over 160 even when striking at 164. Electric heating element in kettle may be skewing temperature readings of strike water. Had to add cold water to mash to get down in 150s.


    racked on 1/11: gravity 1.025
