Notes

Brewed June 23, 2019 - Reused Yeast (2nd Pitch)

Mashed all 20 lbs at 153°F for one hour. Topped off with 170°F water for mashout. Stirred and let settle for 30 minutes. Collected 11 gallons of wort (down to 3° Brix). Kettle was at about 14° Brix. Added 3 gallons off spring water to bring boil volume to 14 gallons.


FG - July 15th 2019....1.015

NOTE: Pissed off that I blindly hopped to an IBUs need to be twice what they are like my previous versions....We'll see

07/28/2019 - Lagered for 2 weeks at 32°F. Pulled first sample. Too soon, beer still immature and a bit too sweet. Should come into its own in next couple of weeks.
