Had to make some changes due to lack of WY0156 and pale malt(!) at LHBS. So used Crisp Extra Pale Maris Otter as base malt, subbed WY1056 for WLP001
Made up two 1L starters ( on stirplates) 2 days ahead of brewday. Chilled, decanted and tasted starter wort before pitching (ended up using US05 in the end as the WLP001 starter smelled and tasted phenolic so I dumped it)
Friday 3rd June 2016 - Brewday
28L strike water adjusted with CaCl2, gypsum and 80% lactic acid. Mashed in at 70.5C for a mash temp of 66.7C (152F). Stirred the mash for 5 mins.
30 mins later - Stirred the mash for a couple of minutes. Mash temp = 66C. pH = 5.1(!)
Started to heat the mash after 50 mins for a mash out.
60 mins later - Stirred the mash for a couple of minutes. Mash temp = 65C. pH = 5.0(!).
Realised I had forgot to mash in the flaked oats(!). Added them to the mash after 60 mins with 3g of bicarbonate to try and rescue mash pH. Ended up being a 90 minute mash instead of 60 mins :(
Final mash pH 5.3.
Sparged with 4L 50C water.
OG a little high so diluted with cooled boiled water to 1.056.
Monday 13th June 2016 (Day 10) - CO2 transferred WY1318 beer from PET carboy to oxygen purged corny dry hop keg. Added 0.5 bar of pressure to the keg. Shook the keg rigorously and bubbled CO2 through the liquid post twice a day to encourage more efficient extraction.
Wednesday 15th June 2016 (Day 12) - CO2 transferred WY1318 beer from DH keg to serving keg using a jumper line. Cold crashed and added 40 psi pressure to the keg. FG = 1.016. pH = 4.38. 5.25% ABV.
Immediately cleaned and oxygen purged the DH keg and transferred in more hops and US05 beer. Repeated the same procedure as above (2 days dry hopping with agitation and capped CO2 bubbling).
Friday 17th June 2016 - CO2 transferred US05 beer to serving keg.
US05 beer has something not quite right about it, mix of diacetyl and chlorophenol (wondering if this is actually my beer lines?). Changed the line on the US05 beer and this did the job (note to self, clean those lines more often with line cleaner instead of just starsan and pbw).
Really lazy on collecting data for this beer as everyone was away on holiday (myself included). Beers tasted great and the kegs kicked before collecting enough data.
