Notes
Batch size: 3.4G
Grain Bill: 8lbs
Boil time: 60 mins
Trub Loss: 0.2G
Mash Thickness: 1.5 qts/lbs
Target mash temp: 152
Wort Shrinkage: 4%
Grain Absorption: 0.13 gal/lbs
% Boiloff: 10%
Total water needed: 5.14G
Mash: 2.66G
Sparge: 2.55G
Strike temp: 164.33F
Pre-boil wort: 4.17G
- Start with strike water of 10.1L (2.66G) @ 164.33F.
- Put in 8 lbs of grains.
- Rest at 152F for 60 mins.
- Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb, should end up with 1.62G in brew kettle.
- Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 9.7L (2.55G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
- Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
- Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.51G of pre-boil wort.
Took twenty minutes to get to 164F. Didn't drop below 160. 158 after 5 minutes. 155 after 10 minutes. 150 after 50 minutes.
Shit, forgot to add 0.25 lbs of flaked wheats.
Hydrometer is reading 1.04 in water.
Took 25 minutes to boil.
Ended up with 4.6 gallons of pre-boil wort... Hydrometer reads 1.04 @ 118F = 1.048...way below my target OG. If I drop 4 points, its actually 1.044. If 1.044 with 4.7 gallons of PB wort, then efficiency is 75.5%, not bad. Will add 0.75 lbs of corn sugar @ 15 minutes to bump OG.
52 minutes after boil to get to 80F with ice bath.
Now have 1.070 OG with 4.0 gallons of beer! I guess its more like 1.066 based on calibration... That is 77% efficiency!
6 days after pitching, FG is at 1.020 - two gravity points higher than expected. 72% attenuation versus 70%, not so bad. Started to dry hop with 2 oz.
Bottle Carbonation: 2.4 Volumes of C02. 2.9 oz of corn sugar with a cup of boiled water for 3.5 gallons.
First taste on November 13, 2014 - 15 days after bottling. App: completely opaque. Decent head if poured right into clean glass. Aroma: fruity and grassy notes. Taste: Bitter and dry. Fruity. MF: high carbonation. Light-medium body. Overall: really good! even after two weeks in the bottles.
Description: Find the lightness in this deep, dark beer. While it may be completely opaque, reminiscent of a black hole, the aroma and taste will remind you a beautiful nebula, similar to that of an IPA with a dry bitterness coupled with fruity and grassy hoppy notes. Not for the faint of heart. Drink if you dare. 6.1% abv, 50 IBUs.
Tasting on november 25: off-white head that fades quickly. Extremely black with hoppy, dry taste and bitter aftertaste.
