Juniper branches (about a 5g bucket full) soaked in the strike water overnight. Slowly heated water over 90 minutes to 190F and added 3oz whole Crystal hops. Held steady at 190F for 90 minutes and transferred to mash ton. I left the branches and hop bag in HLT and added sparge water...heated back to 190 over the course of the mash.

Notes

This isn't a Sahti. It's just an experimental raw farmhouse type beer.

I could only get the IBUs to calculate correctly if I added a boil time. This beer never goes above @173 but I had to get the strike water hop tea to calculate with a boiling time....I guess 80% utilization @ 190F for 90 minutes.

After lautering I whirlpool in the kettle at 173F for at least a half hour but more likely an hour.

This batch is getting split three ways. Each split gets a different yeast (Jovaru, Framgarden and Lida).
