Notes
  • Brewed on 5/30/20
  • Mash water = 5.39 gallons (20.4 liters)
  • Sparge water = 2.89 gallons (10.9 liters)
  • Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had 26.5 liters or 7 gallons
  • Expecting mash efficiency of 84% (at expanded wort volume) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.060
  • Mash temp settled right it at ~150F
  • Hit 14.8 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.060 vs. 1.060 target so 86% mash efficiency (at 7 gallons pre-boil) vs. 84% expected. I left the flow valve fully open on the grainfather. Helped with efficiency so going to continue this method.
  • Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons (after wort cools) so boil-off tool estimates 1.067 OG, Actual original gravity reading was 15.9 plato which converts to 1.065 (should have been 1.066 at new pre-boil volume) vs 1.067 expected.
  • After boil had ~6.XX (forgot to track this) gallons (expected 6.0 not expanded) in the kettle and ~6.3 gallons made it into the fermenter. Was very heavy on volumes into fermenter on this batch. Don't need to tilt grainfather again and may need to adjust grain absorption assumption slightly down.
  • Pitched yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 65F, fermentation had blow off airlock activity within 4 hours
  • Packaged on 6/11/20, batch #44, FG was 1.010 (at 71F) which converts to 1.011 so 81% attenuation vs 75% avg. and 85% expected
  • Fill keg to 51.90 pounds = (1.011FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.72 (empty keg weight + packaging hoses attached). Easily got 51.90 pounds.
