Notes
  • Brewed on 3/31/19
  • Took mash water and sparge water volumes from the Grainfather brew session tool
  • Expecting mash efficiency of 87% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.048
  • Mash temp settled right it at ~152F
  • Hit 11.8 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.048 vs. 1.048 target so 87% mash efficiency vs. 87% expected.
  • Expecting to boil down to ~6 (5.95) gallons so boil-off tool estimates 1.054 OG. Actual original gravity reading was 13.3 plato which converts to 1.054 vs 1.054 expected.
  • After boil had ~6.0 gallons (expected ~6.0) in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter
  • Pitched the yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 52F, bumped to 60F on day 12 then 66F on day 13 for a 2 day diacetyl rest, then slowly crashed to 33-34F and kept there for a few days before packaging
  • Yeast starter was a bit big, calculator showed I had more like 480 billion cells
  • Packaged on 4/20/19, FG was 1.012 (at 47F) which converts to 1.011 so 78% attenuation vs 74% avg. and 75% expected
