Notes

Made three 4.8L starters using 17.3 oz of DME each. Added chemicals and acid to the mash as shown, as well as Campden tablets to mash and sparge water. pH stabilized at 5.2!! As always, we don't need as much acid as the calculator says.

First runnings: 1.084
Last runnings: 1:015

Never got to last runnings. At 20 gallons the SG was so high that we had to stop and top up the last 6 g. with water! Hit our target OG of 1.050 that way at least. Great efficiency at least! (despite the efficiency number of this batch) OG: 1.059

Sparge and boil as indicated. Through chiller and into fermenter at 77 degrees. Took it down to 45 and ran the aerator the whole time. Pitched all the yeast and let it rise to 50 for the main fermentation.

Good, but a little too strong, just a bit hot, and somehow just not as good. Mark suspects yeast volume?
