Notes

Brewed 30-6-18
Plan:
Round trip continuously variable mash - Start mash at 67°C, begin recirculating while allowing to cool naturally to 60°C. Once mash hits 60°C, begin slowly heating while recirculating. Stop at 77°C. Hold for 5 minutes and sparge.

Actual:
Started at 66°C and dropped to 64°C. Stirred mash then raised to 66°C and dropped to 60°C. Heated on mash mode back to 77°C. Process went for 1-1.5hrs

Pre-boil 1.040
Added 330g LDME and 150g Dextrose at 10 mins

OG 1.056
FG 1.006 (11-7-18)
6.6% ABV

2 x 3711 and 1 x 3724

Started fermentation at around 20°C. Started bubbling within 8hrs. Consistently raised temp up to 28°C over 4 days.

1.027 @ 3-7-18 Tasting great. Clean ferment and lovely aroma. Spicy flavour with a nice malt profile. Still very sweet but promising.

1.007 @ 7-7-18 Tasting very dry and a little tart, accentuating the bitterness.

Ph at 4.5

Cold crashed - 11-7-18
Bottled 28-7-18 tasting dry and very good, dryness exaggerating the bitterness and tartness a little.

Scored 38 BABBs Belgian mini comp. 23-8-18

25-8-18 Drinking very well. Just slightly too bitter. Could also benefit from a little more yeast character and malt character. Tartness faded after a few weeks.

1st Place in Belgian Ale category QABC September 2018 on 44 points
