Brew notes.
-Nailed rest temp @ 154. Resting for one hour. Stirring at 30min. Adding boiling water if temp drops below 150.

  • I watched it the first 5-10 minutes and the temp held. I checked it around 30 minutes and the heat was around 156. A good stir brought it back down. Smells pretty good. Very wheaty. That's the plan I guess. Frasiskaner clone next time (didn't have the yeast recommended this time).
  • Digital temp probe took a shit at some point. Still think my numbers were good after checking with other thermometer.
  • Way low efficiency. Rinsed grains more (Fuck BIAB). Lots of extra water. Going to boil a little while prior to adding hops and starting timer.
    -Cooled, pitched yeast. Put in my basement at unknown temp (has been holding the same as my heater 68, I put it closer to the door to hopefully hit 65.)
    -24 hours later no visible fermentation (the s airlock has the water pushed to one side though). Moved it deeper into my basement and gave it shake.
    -48hr Put my thermometer aside of the carboy, read 60. Moved it closer to the heater, it brought it up to about 65
    -62 hr brought it upstairs to around 68.
    -chillin for a while.
    -It is now Christmas Eve (2016). I forget when I brewed this(Im thinking around 2 weeks), I never noted it. I will figure it out at some point.
    I just checked the gravity. I came down to 1011. It tasted good. A fairly good balance of esters. It had a slight sour note which was great. I am tempted to bottle some and play with the rest. I have an American Farmhouse from white labs. Might like to try some fruit. just not sure. Will report back.
  • New years eve I bottled one gallon, and put ~1 1/2 gallons in 1 gallon glass jugs.
    -one jug has a full gallon and the other less than half. I pitched 90% of the culture into the full gallon by accident and only a little in smaller one. That leaves me with a heavy overpitch and a slight underpitch im guessing. tasting in one month. Will probably blend them together at some point.

    -2/18 - Overpitch has gotten quite a bit darker. Underpitch got lighter maybe. Both very clear. overpitch came down to 10.06 and underpitch was at 10.07. It was hard to discern much difference between the two otherwise. I used the underpitch to top off the gallon jug of the overpitch (I needed to free up that jug). Will allow to sit another few months before checking it out.
