75 Pilot version of Beer 1 with brewery H2O

EXPERIMENT: Close replication of BEER 1 using brewery water.

• 4 Kg of Pale is actually 3 Kg of crisp extra pale and 1 Kg of Europils, which was a bit old but smelled fine.
  
• Strike water was 74, but got mash temp of 65c. End mash 62c.
  
• forgot lactic acid but added to last 15 minutes of mash and stired well. ???
  
• day 6. Consistantly ferm at 19c. Still a fair bit of bubbling and crousin. Dry hopped. 1016. TASTE seems fine with no obvious astringency or harshness. Some hoppyness, bitterness as expected, yeasty, and clean.
  
• day 11. racked to keg. 1005 FG. 6.2%. No idea why so low as it was held at a steady 19c. BUT, THE BEER WAS CLEAN AND HOPPY AND LOVELY AND THERE WAS NO ASTRINGENCY WHICH PROVES THAT THE BREWERY WATER IS FINE. will be a differnet beer vs 1014 FGF
  TASTING: Day 3 of carbing in keg. About half way carbed and cleared much better than Beer 1 version, but still quite hazy. No harsh astringency as in beer 1, so we have ruled out water source as a problem. I think that you may have had an infection via the dirty heat exchanger (can't believe I did not clean it before use). Hop aroma is moderate and pungent.
  TASTING: needed to clear corneys, so racked beer with party tap to 30 bottles. Day 5 in bottles from fridge. GORGIOUS beer. It's hazy but relitively clear so protofloc is great. 50 IBU is perfect balance. Solid aroma and tropical/floral hop flavour which is beautiful. No off flavours, no astringency. Only critique is that it tastes more thin than I would expect from a 6.2 beer.
  TASTING: keggerator beer moved to bottle for 7 days and refrigerated vs bottle conditioned beer at ambient conditions for 15 day and chilled for 24 hours: Both good beers, but bottle conditioned beer clearly the winner. Aroma is outstanding and compares with the best commertial examples, clarity is good, and flavour excellent, bitterness seems a tad high, and carbonation slightly soft. keg conditioned has probably oxidised a bit.
  TASTING bottle conditioned at 3 weeks. Great beer.
  TASTING: Bottle conditioned 4 weeks ambient and then refridgerater 48 hours from the fermentor with .5 teaspoon sugar into bottle. This is A SMOOTH AND BEAUTIFUL BEER. Hop aroma is medium and lovely. Carbonation is good, perhaps 2.5co2 with nice lacing and small bubbles. There is a malty sweetness and bitterness is at least the 53 IBU, so nothing wrong with going 45 IBU on this next time.
