Notes

13.8° brix uncorrected OG post boil.
13.27/1.054 corrected OG.
7° brix uncorrected FG.
1.011 FG. 5.69 % ABV.
Mash PH 5.2.
Forgot to check post boil PH.
I brewed this because I wanted to know what German ale yeast 1007 tasted like. It is for wiesse biers. This would be perfect using wheat in place of 50-60 %of the barley.
First brew with the new kettle and whirlpool.
Fermentation was immediate. Took 1 hr to fill fermenter head space and to start bubbling.
Using heat belt with temperature controller at 68°.
It took 3-4 weeks to age/condition this one. Then the yeast smoothed out and it's really good.
