Notes

Brewed 01.09.15

First brewday with 30PSI KAB4 burner, first 5-gallon brewday in a while.

Brew went well. KAB4 is a G-D beast. I had a massive boilover with just 7 gallons in a 15 gallon kettle.

Ended up with 4.5 gallons in a 6 gallon fermenter. OG was only 1.060 vs. the expected 1.068. Had reserved about an extra gallon of wort for starters... leave that be next time. Need to dial in the new burner in my system.

Chilled to 78 degree F and allowed to chill overnight in sealed kettle (alum stockpot). Pitched full starter and beer to fermenter 01.10.15 ~0900. Temp at 64 degrees F.

01.11.15 am. Active fermentation.

01.12.15 pm, pulled dirty airlock and capped with foil. Small blowoff.

01.15.15 pulled foil cap and added clean airlock.

03.20.15 some tasting notes - Grain bill is needlessly complex and unfortunately results in a competition with the yeast character. For the next brew, recommend a much simpler grain bill - see Brewing Classic Styles.
