Notes
  • Brewed on 5/11/19
  • 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 (used brewer's friend vs. grainfather calculator to account for higher expected extraction from sugar addition)
  • Mash temp settled right it at ~148F
  • Hit 12.2 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.049 vs. 1.048 target so ~88% 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 13.2 plato which converts to 1.053 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 70F,
  • Packaged on 5/23/19, FG was 1.001 (at 74F) which converts to 1.003 so 91% attenuation vs 80% avg. and 82% expected
