Targeted a PH in Brew ' N' water of 5.12.
1st Reading @ 10mins PH 5.2
2nd Reading @ 20mins PH 5.3
Post boil PH 5.3
Started Mash at 53C raising to 65C for 90Mins
Water used 70L, reduced down extra wort a fair bit.
NOTE:
- Turn off mash reflow pump and start raising kettle to sparge temp while still mashing about 60 mins into mash, this will save time. you can also do a kettle water dump to heat up quicker rather than just waiting for the coil. Kept the kettle at around 95 for sparge.
- We had better effiecienty with just more sparge, not need for more than a 90min mash and no need to sparge too slow.
TASTING NOTES
BEN: Very Clean and drinkable. Maybe needs a little more fruit hoppiness, could add another 40g at flame-out of something like tetenager for some more character.Might be interesting to try with a German pilsner malt, vs Gladfield.
