Notes

ingredients ordered April 14, 2018

brew day Saturday, April 28
1 qt./gallon makes a thick mash, but it is workable with the paddle.
Mash the pale grains, then add chocolate malt after 45 minutes.
Note to self: IBUs will be lower when I use hop bags.
First time playing with the hop utilization tool.

Before pitching, I added another packet of US-05 to the yeast starter.

Saturday May 5 - racked the beer to clear carboy. Krausen evident, left some yeast sludge in the primary and transferred a bit of it to the secondary.

Wednesday May 9 - added dry hops. Krausen has dropped and fermentation appears to be complete. 66 deg F.

____ - bottled the beer with 5.5 oz. corn sugar
F.G. is 1.014
7.3 %ABV
