- used 4.4 lb regular 2row, the rest organic 2row since the regular bins were low

- cost ~$18.50 for beer, yeast and hops already owned

5 gal @ 161 F + 12.5 lb @ 68.5 F = 148 F mash

- @ 149.5 F @ 60 min
- @ 148.1 F @ 30 min
- @ 145.9 F @ 11 min, post stir
- @ 145.9 F @ 0 min

- got 3 gal and about less than 1 qt more, left valve open so some sparge water went into measuring cup, added a lot of grain

- also took a break in middle of draining first runnings, maybe like 30 minutes

- sparged with 4 gals, temp "at" 190 F actually 180 F

- @ 159.8 F @ 12 min

- got 4 1/16 gallon second runnings

- read 1.034 gravity @ 139.5 F raw, did not use offset

- 1.058 @ 70.5 F raw, did not use offset

- didn't suck up everything from kettle, maybe a qt left behind

- pitched random yeast slurry at 70.5 F, added maybe 6 oz of densely packed slurry, probably 6-12 months old, definitely didn't rinise
-- andy thinks it may be belgian ardennes yeast, it definitely tasted belgiany

1.011 @ 69.5 F raw, did not use offset

- 13.9 psi @ 39 F (4.0 C = 39.2 F) = 2.7 vol CO2

- fermented at 74 F first few days, dropped down to 69 - 70 F after primary fermentation, just left on kitchen floor for whole duration

- placed on 32 psi gas for first 14 hours, will put @ 14 psi after 14 hours
 
Notes

Using really old yeast slurry from mystery jars in back of fridge, most likely either wyeast 3944 wit bier yeast or possibly belgian ardennes
