Notes

Brewed Labor Day 9/7/15
OG was 1.065...a lot lower than expected.
13 grams of gypsum added to 11 gal of distilled water. No other salts were added.
Boiled 1.5 gallons inside for 1.25 hours and added to boil kettle to give 7 gallons post boil. Ended up with 6+ in fermentor. I think this diluted the OG to bring lower.
Made San Diego super yeast starter (2L) on Saturday at 1pm, but added WLP001 on monday morning at 9am. Brewed monday and pitched at 65F at 4pm.
Oxygen was nearly gone from can, but slowly bubbled for 2 mins, then shook for 30 seconds to further aerate.
Fermented at 65F for 72 hours then let naturally rise to 68F thursday night.
Still bubbling from blow off tube every second at this time.
Adjusted temp to 72F and let free rise on day 6
FG was 1.009 on day 12
Transferred to secondary day 12 on dry hops
7.33% ABV
