Strike water was 155 ºF. Added all 22 lbs of grain. Temp at 144 ºF and 8.5 Gallons of water. Heating more water to bring to 10 Gallons and get up to 152 ºF.
This gives a mash step of 30 minutes at 144 ºF. Then mashing in a 152ºF for 60 minutes.

Grain was double milled at LHBS (Brewmeister West Sac). Dusty AF, but hopefully will improve efficiency as stated by Brulosophy.

Mash temperature was raised to about 154ºF by heating/stirring after adding new water. Volume about 9.8 gallons (10 gallon line visible.
Attempted to vorlauf but couldn't as the line was clogged. I suspect the bag got sucked in and stuffed. Didn't want to burn out the pump so I turned it off, drained the line back into the kettle and just left it. |

Sanitized hands, bowls, bags, 2 1-gallon pitchers, and funnel. Added 2.6L of fresh watermelon juice (Cultivar: Baraka/Manchester). FG was at about 1.007, after addition 1.011. Was not terribly careful about Oxygen, but fermentation is only just leveling off. |

Packaged 94 bottles. (2 short of four cases).
Initial taste excellent. Watermelon is very strong, but well matched in the beer. Finish was a little harsh, but should mellow with conditioning time. |
