Notes

Adapted from http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/grimm-brothers-brewhouse-snowdrop-kottbusser-recipe/

Strike temp 157.5 F with 7 gals and all grain. Starting mash temp 153.2. 152.0 F at 15 min, pH 4.9, added 1/2 tsp CaCO3. Temp boost at 30 min. Total mash time 60 min. Raise temp to 165F and remove spent grain.

Starting boil volume ~6.2 gal. Boil 75 min. Finishing hops added after flameout and whirlpool, ~10 min.

Final volume in fermenter 4.75 gal. Siphon did not hold draining the boiling kettle, dumped everything into the fermenter (SS brew bucket). Cooled with immersion coil in fermenter.

Oxygenate and pitch yeast at 64F. Original gravity 1.058.

Bottled after 2 weeks in fermenter. Yeast settles slowly in the bottle. Must bottle condition for 2 weeks, then add a week with bottles in fridge to lager in the bottle. Decant carefully, yeast sentiment is settled loosely at bottom of bottle.

With a clean pour, the beer is very clear and clean with light noble hop aroma and character. Oats add a unique dimension to the malt character.
