Notes

Volume calculations for my system:
Mash in with 4.45 gallons. Lose 0.4 gal to grain absorption, so 4.05 gal pre-boil volume. No sparge. Evaporate 0.6 gal during 60 min boil, so 3.45 gal ending kettle. I have 0.6 gal dead space in kettle, and lose 0.1 gal to hops absorption, so 2.75 gal into fermentor. Usually have about 0.25 gal trub post-fermentation, so rack 2.5 gal into 2.5 gallon keg.

Oxygenate well, and start fermentation at 67º. As active fermentation starts to die down (day 3-4?), raise temp to 70º or so to finish up and let the yeast clean up after itself.
