Notes

03/2/2024: Brewing day

At the end of the 60 min of masing the wort was at 147F. I turned the stove to reach 153F again. Then I left it mashing for an extra 20 min app. while I was heating up the 2.2 gal of water to 168F to do the sparging.

The OG was 1.060 but it should have been 1.047. Since the FG needs to be at 1.007, I diluted the app. 4.2 gal in the carboy by adding 0.9 gal (4 L) of (boiled and cooled) water. The calc was the following: (1.060 - 1.047)/((1.060-1.007)*4.2 = 0.9.

The measured SG after the dilution was ~1.048.

3/9/2024: Checked SG

Fermentation (bubbling) actually stopped about 3 days before this date. Measured SG was ~1.014.
1oz of Styrian Goldings added directly to the carboy for aroma. Original recipe said 2 oz, but the beer already seemed hoppy enough when I tried it. According to the recipe, in 6 days I should rack the beer.
