Notes

For 170 Mash out, pulled bag heated water to 172 and put grains back in water. temp was closer to 162F so really like a step mash
After the 162 for 20min sparked with 2gallons at 170C
Squeezed bag before and after sparring.
Post boil gravity was right on at 1.051
Fermentation started from ~1L of lutra kviek from starter decanted down to a few hundred pls

Decided to dry hop on day 6-fermentation was pretty much done. Shooting for more of an Italian pilsner style

4 of 5

This came out great. Added clarifier at bottling with priming sugar to 2.7 CO2 vol

Let set 30days prior to drinking. Great clarity with nice straw color, can pick up a bit of chill haze but seems to lessen with longer storage at 4C. Very nice white fluffy head that hangs around nicely. Smell in nice floral noble hop with just a bit a bit of earth. Mouth feel is crisp and just a bit dry. The saaz is prominent which is exactly what I liked but it may be a bit too hopped for some. it has a nice lingering finish that makes me want more.

One note: Could drop the magnum (or do 30min additions) a little maybe to come in at 25 IBU total for (22 Magnum, 4 Saaz)
