Notes

Brewed 1/5/2014. Strike water was 168F and I over shot to about 153F. Recirculated about 15 gal of the mash which brought it down to 151F. Decided I should top off with a quart of cold water which brought it down to 147F. Then added a pint of boiling water which made it 148F. Next time maybe I should shoot for 149? pH was actually 5.0 which I think it way too low. I ended up adding .2 grams of pickling lime about 30min in to see if I could bump it up a bit. pH sample from about 50min put the mash at 5.15. Boil kettle efficiency was 1.047 which puts the efficiency at 89%. Hit 1.058 on the nose but I probably got about 6 gallons. Forgot to put the 0 min hop addition in so I might DH with that. I was worried about not getting enough volume from the 90min boil so I turned it down at about 20min. I probably ended up with about level with the false bottom left in the kettle so there was a bit left over so 8.75 or 9gal is probably right on for a 90min boil. Pitching temp was about 68F. 1/6/14 temp was about 67F so I decided to put an aquarium heater in the bath to bump up the temp. 1/6/14 evening temp was holding at 70F and I turned off the heater mid-day. 1/7/14 turned on the aquarium heater in the morning and bumped it up to 72F. 1/8/2014 kicked the heat up to 74F, stepped it up to 76F in the evening cuz fermentation is slowing a bit. 1/9/2013 kicked it up to 78F, will probably leave it there for about a week. I am considering dry hopping for about 7 days also. Took a gravity reading on 1/20 and it was about 1.009. Thinking I will probably leave it for another week in primary and I also dry hopped it today. 1/24/14 took out of swamp bath at 78F and biofined with 2 tbs of biofine. Kegged 1/27/14. Should force card to about 2.4 volumes of C02. Beer was different than the one I made before. In the future I will probably stick with Belgian Pilsner for the base.
