Notes

150-151F at the start of Mash
148-149F end of Mash

Sparge took a while as the false bottom got plugged up with grain

1.042 Pre boil SG
Still had about 0.5 gals or so left in the mash tun so something was off with the sparge volume

1.049Post boil SG

Changed the volume below the false bottom after this brew to 0.5 qts.

Kegged on 4/29/2024
FG: 1.006-1.008.
Added 10oz of amoretti grapefruit puree to keg.
