Notes

Tuesday 15th September 2015 - 1.6L DME starter made for WY1318. Starter on stir plate for 36 hr before splitting. Saved 550 mL (~100 billion cells) for next batch. Crash chilled the remaining 1.1L so that I could decant before pitching.

Thursday 17th September 2015 - BIAB mash with 69oC strike water (28L). 64.6oC mash temp. Stirred for 2-3 minutes (lots of doughballs). 20 mins in stirred again and temp = 63.5. 40 mins in stirred again and temp = 62.6oC. After 1 hr temp = 61.5oC.

pH meter playing up so no mash pH reading. Adjusted as normal to hit 5.4. Saved a sample to test at work and soaked the pH electrode in KCl solution....

17L at 1.065. Diluted to 20L at 1.055. Pitched yeast at 25oC.

Saturday 26th September 2015 - Kegged with 125g Southern Passion. FG = 1.014. 5.4% ABV...

Kegged Wed 30th September 2015 - pressure transfer

Keg kicked Mon 19th October 2015 - new dry hopping seemed to work well. Beer had good hop flavour, though the aroma wasnt all I had hoped for. Overall one of the best IPAs I have made this year, but still only 80% of where I want to be. Will brew a similar recipe again very soon.
