Notes

itch yeast at 64F and slowly rise to 82F over course of 1 week
Plate Stirrer on loan from Chris Wessel
Add sugar near end of the boil - perhaps at 10 minutes.

Mashed for 90 min at 149.
added 4.5 gal water @ 168. Mashing for 20 min to allow bed to settle.

Brewed 5/30/15

OG: 1.083 <-- not sure if temperature corrected (could actually be 1.086)

5/31/15 8:17 | Chest Freezer temperature is 62F. Turned up.
6/3/15 16:00 | Freezer temp was 77. Removed from freezer and placed in garage.
6/3/15 17:40 | SG 1.011 Still has some krausen. Bubbles at 1 minute.
6/7/15 10:15 | SG 1.10. Lot of floating material . Kind of watery but still drinkable. Transferred to secondary because I found a crack in the glass carboy which I was going to use for the next brew. So instead I put the carboy in tub and racked this ale into it, and dumped bunch of trub. Having a weiss beer in prod in the ale pale will reduce my desire to keep fucking around with this golden ale.
6/11/15 08:20 | SG 1.003 + .001 Temp correction (per brewers friend) = 1.004 (ABV: 10.11% to 10.5%)
6/12/15 8:30 | Added remaining 0.25 ounces of Hallertau. Removed space heater.
6/13/15 3:00 | Sampled: SG 1.0025 Temp Corrected (per brewers friend) (ABV 10.6%)
6/13/15 ?? | Placed into chest freezer for cold crash
6/14/15 | Bottled 3 - 3.5 gallons into 20 flips tops and a handful of thinner bottles at 4 volumes. SG with priming sugar 1.10

6/15/15 9:00 | still in chest freezer at 40F
6/15/15 09:00 | moved into house to make room for hefewesien in freezer.

6/17/15 10:15 | The couple gallons remaining in carboy is still bubbling a bit but that could be formerly dissolved CO2 from cold crashing. Nonetheless, is good sign that O2 has probably been pushed out.

6/18/15 | bottled remaining beer into 6 thick bottles at 4 volumes. FG: 1.004

10/25/15 | Pleasant slighty fruity. warming
