Notes

Brew Notes: from 02/17/2019 Brew Day

Allow hot break of foam before adding lactose as boil approaches 100 degC

Did not see typical formation of zebra effect during flame out and cool down to 90 degC. Lactose addition may have caused this.

BM350VMS Specific notes
Use of Rice Hulls improved bed drainage. Was able to achieve +80% efficiency on this last brew.
Hit kettle volume on the nose at 13.5 gallons with fly sparge.

The 1.3 starting mash thickness factor was good allowing ~1" of liquid above grain bed at center of MT.

Cocoa nibs were soaked in JP Wisers Hopped Rye Whiskey from 12/20/2018 to Brew Date +1 Day. Nibs added at High Krausen or approximately 29 hours from pitch.
