Notes

Friday 29th July 2016 - 1.5L starter of rehydrated dried yeast to get up to the correct cell count

Sunday 31st July 2016 - Starter placed in fridge so it can be decanted

Tuesday 2nd August 2016 - Brewday. Mashed in with 23L water. Mash temp 66.5C. Added 2mL 80% ĺactic acid instead of the predicted 3.8mL to hit a mash pH of 5.4. Mash pH after 20 mins. 5.18. Mash pH after 50 mins. 5.19. Total Mash time 60 mins. Total boil time 60 mins.

Way short on volume (fucking leaf hops!). Maybe 17L at 1.045. pH 5.19.

Yeast pitched once wort had cooled to 12C. Fermentation fridge set to 12C.

Thursday 4th August - Ferm fridge set to 13.5C
Monday 8th August - Ferm fridge set to 19C
Sunday 14th August - Set ferm fridge to -1C for cold crash

Thursday 18th August - Kegged. Didn't bother doing a pressurised transfer. Hooked up gas at 40 psi.

FG = 1.013. 4.2% ABV.
