Notes

Brewed 4/5/14. First time attempting something like this. Decided to batch sparge to try to save on time. Strike was about 173F and we hit about 149 in one mash tun and 151 in the other. I accidentally over estimated the sparge water since I just doubled the amount for 5 gal so we ended up having enough for the second beer also (meaning I estimated about 8gal over on the necessary sparge water). Didn't run into too many issues just a bit of a stuck original runoff but I sort of expected that. In kettle efficiency was very low at 59%. Brew house efficiency was way lower than expected. Not sure why. Possibly from using a lot of sparge water. Used some slurry and had to top off with some water to hit 5gal in each carboy.
