"Pommy Hands" - Hophands Clone

Made up water the night before. Added all water agts including sodium metabisulfite, Fruit Fresh (ascorbic and citric acid) and lactic acid (in fact, CaSO4 and MgSO4 would not dissolve fully until I added the acid to the water). I then moved 1.1 gal to another pot and diluted each pot 50% with distilled water.

I ended up pulling more wort from the grains because the pre-boil SG for 4 gals was 1.035 when it should have been 1.041. So I pulled a total of 5.25 gals and boiled both pots for 30 mins initially. I them topped off the main pot with wort from the secondary pot to 4 gal, and kept the excess for late addition. I then boiled or 60 more minutes, following the hop and adjunct addition schedule. After the late addition of LME and remaining partially boiled wort, and top up to 5 gals, the OG was 1.055.

I added 300 ml of pomegranate molasses and 125 ml juice 4 days after initial yeast pitching, and then started the dry hopping 1 week after pitching. I dry hopped for 5 days, pulled out the hop bag, and then let the beer sit for 3 days in the near freezing garage to promote flocculation and settling through cold crashing.
