Notes

Brew day:
Underestimated Mash water? Mash was very thick, topped up to estimated mash consistency. Added more water to the sparge to collect to 26L. Removed top plate and sparged directly onto grain bed. Tannin extraction?

Hop additions targeted at a BU/GU Ratio of .6. Challenger Hops smelled weak. Wort tasted bitter; tannins?

Pitch:
Underpitched yeast: Pitched at .35 Pitch rate (300ML of starter), as calculated in BF Yeast Calculator.
1 min aeration based upon reading reviews of its need for a lot of O2.
Pitched at 22C. Temp set to 20C, let cool:

29/08: SG: 1.049 (12.2 BRIX), Temp: 20
31/08: increased temp to 21
01/09: Attenuation was upwards of 70. Temp to 22
02/09: Temp to 23
12/09: FG: 1.008 (5.8 BRIX)
