Notes
Notes from 12-11-2017 brew date #####
  • Mashed at 147 for 75 minutes. This was due to how cold it was outside.
  • Added 5.5 gallons of 163 degree water to mash and hit 147 for 75 min. Sparged with 175 degree water to hit 160 mash out/
    Boiled for 60 min
    Crash cooled and transferred to fermentation chamber
    Set to 50 degrees ambient for 6 hours
    Pitched yeast at 9pm. Starter was a single 029 vial that had been built up twice. Estimated at 300 - 400 billion cells.
  • As of 7:30am Monday there was a nice 1-2 inch ring of krausen. I bumped the temp up to 52 ambient. Fermentation seems to be doing quite well.
    Water profile on the right was used: Yellow Balanced
