Notes

5lbs 6 ounces of Valley Malt pale 2 left over from fitst bag. Remainder of 2 row came from new bag.

Mashed in with all but roasted barley, chocolate malt and brown malt. These malts will be added when temp is raised to mash out.

Pre sparge gravity 15.25 P / 1.091 Specific Gravity

Target hops 7.5% AA vice 11%
UK Kent Goldings 6.6% AA vice 5%

Finished boil volume was 5.25 @ 1.061, topped off with 4 liters of hot water bringing volume to 6.5 @ 1.053

Wort chilled to 64 degrees

Aerated for 2 minutes and pitched yeast. WLP005 very, very foamy and quite active when pitched. Made a small mess adding yeast to carboy.
