Notes

Brewed on 6/19/16. Strike water was a bit high so decided to add a quart of cold before the grain and about a pint after. Mash tun was maxed out with that amount of water and grain. Mashed cooled down to about 148F. Couldn't get a clear runoff after recirculating so we shall see what that does. 75% efficiency in the kettle which might be a little low but we shall see. Dissolved sugar and syrup in about a pint of water. When all was said and done ended up with just about the right amount of beer and hit the OG on the mark. Pitching temp was about 68F but used extra ice to cool it more and got both down to about 65/66F. Beer had heated up to about 67F by morning of 6/20 and I cooled both down to 64F. Throughout the day I cooled periodically and in the evening it was sitting at about 65F. Morning of 6/21 brew was at about 67F and I cooled it. By the evening it was sitting at about 66/67F as well. 6/22 brew was sitting at about 66F in the morning so I cooled it and by evening it was around 66/67F. FG tested on 7/12, one was at 1.011 and the other at 1.012. I also biofined.
