Notes

Brewed 12/17/16. Strike water was 169F and hit right at about 152/153. Only recirculated a half gallon because of this. Sparge went well and nothing stuck was able to get full volume without cutting as it didn't fall below 2 brix, got close though. Kettle efficiency was 82% which is a little lower than expected. Hit everything on the nose including the gravity. Temp cooling went faster due to low OG I believe but still need to look into a different temp cooling method to quicken things up. Pitching temp stabilized at 63F. 12/18 temp was about 62F so I cooled to 61F. 12/19 and 12/20 temp was sitting at about 62F the whole day. 12/21 I put a heater into the beer and kicket it up to 68F. Out of the swamp bath on 12/26/16. 1/5/17 I transferred the beer into the keg and added the flavor grapefruit compound from Amoretti. Attenuation was a little lower than expected but that is ok, looking for something sweeter anyways. I went with 4oz of the compound. Directions said 1/2 - 1% concentration and 4oz was about 1/2%. Bottled on 1/9/16 and carbed to about 2.9 volumes. Won an award in the BAM World Cup of Beer
