Notes

Initial Strike Water @ 137
Infusions @ boiling
Ending Mash Thickness at 2.0 qt/lb

Yeast harvested from previous batch.

Tried to get by with 4 oz rice hulls. Sparge stuck at very end. Definitely increase to 8 oz.

First fruit tried with this was 2 lbs frozen mixed berry blend (blackberry/blueberry/raspberry) from Costco plus 10 oz rhubarb from my yard. All brought to about 165 for 10 min to pasteurize.
