Notes

Mashed with 14 litres.
Sparged with 3 litres.
Added 4 litres during no-chill period. All hops removed at end of boil. Mash bag used to hold whole leaf hops during the boil and pellets added inside tea bags. Very useful use of bag as no need to fish out the hop bags, will do again.
Wort transferred to fermentors soon after boil and fermentors left outside (3c) to cool. 4 litres of cold tap water added after a couple of hours.
Pre-boil gravity measured at 1.048.
OG 1.054.
Yeast pitched at 18c. Rehydrated in 30c boiled tap water.
High Krausen within 48hrs. Ferm chamber kept between 16.7c to 18.7c for one week. Temp raised to 19.5c for second week.
First gravity reading after 10 days was 1.013, which is target fg.
