Notes
  • "You can also do this by diverting your first quart or two from the mash into a separate pot and boil this for a few minutes while continuing to sparge into your regular kettle. Then add the slightly caramelized first runnings back before starting a regular 60 minute boil."

  • Fermentation temperature ramp going from 14C up to 18C over 4 days.

  • at the end of sparging, strike water not exceeding 168–170 °F (76–77 °C) is important. if its lower, not the biggest deal, potential loss of probably .2 to .4 ABV absolute max using room temp water in a light sparge.

  • since hop additions are mostly in pellet form, will need to whirlpool after cooling for ~45 minutes, then siphon the wort off the trub in the kettle.
