Notes
Started batch w/ 7 gal+
Hit slightly above 160° for steep slightly longer at 50 minutes. Mashed out” at 155° with great color!
Re lit the fire and brought to a boil, added extract and mittelfrüher.
Added extract and bittering hops before boil.
Knockout and chill. Slightly over time. Took about 30 minutes to chill. Really need a new chilling system.
Gravity off target at 1.034
I am not sure why my gravities are always low.
Did not read the instructions on the yeast. Did not sanitize the packet, did not break the nutrient. We will see if fermentation starts and goes. Worst case I get another packet of yeast and actually follow the instructions.
12 hours in, no fermentation yet. Optimal temp and dark conditions. Will update this evening.
Fermentation started about 36 to 40 hours after pitching and is very vigorous. Topped off the airlock.
Checked AM, krausen filled the airlock. Sanitized a new airlock and swapped out. Fermentation still going strong.
Issues with carboy bung created the lack of a tight airlock. Transfered to secondary ~1 week and 2 days after strong fermentation. Good sediment in primary fermenter, and falvor target is on. Did not notice any off flavors from the makeshift cling wrap seal that was necessary to the top of the carboy (after two bungs went for a swim). Gravity measured in line w/ final predicted gravity.
Small amount of fermentation was present in secondary after adding 1.5 pounds of frozen & warmed blueberries. this occured within 12 hours. Placed in moslin bag for secondary.
Will check gravity in a week and re-taste, but predict that this will be a good summer beer just over 4% when finished.
*Changes for next time: I would have added 3.3 pounds of Munic LME that I had on hand, and a second packet of yeast.
Update 6/16: gravity checked in at 1.0 putting alcohol somewhere around 4.85%. Faint berry taste but not overly strong. Nor overtly blueberry. Should drink a lot like a raddler. Will keg on 6/20.
