Notes

BIAB.

Used Chippewa Spring water with adjustments.

Grew up a starter with Fast Pitch. First transfer from bottles to about 75 ml 12% DME (no apparent growth), transferred to 32 oz Fast Pitch medium (sluggish growth - put in fridge for a few days), poured off most of supernatant and transferred sludge to 32 oz Fast Pitch medium (active growth, foamed slightly out of 1-gallon growler. Chilled morning of brew day and poured off much of the supernatant and transferred the sludge to the fermenter with cooled wort.

Yeast activity started overnight the first night.

Dunk-sparge in 170F water at end of 60-minute rest. Combined mash and sparge-water for boil (about 4.4 gallons).

OG = 1.061.

8-day primary fermentation in a 5-gallon carboy (FG = 1.011) and 3-week (minus 1 day) secondary fermentation in a 3-gallon carboy.

Bottled on 27-Jul-2024 (32 bottles).
