1) Started @ 7AM. Sanitized and ready to go by 8AM.
2) Brought 7.5 gallons to 162'F in mashtun through exchange and some infusion from HLT. HLT was @ 170'F.
3) Added grains. Struck 152'F dead on. Mash recirculating for 60 minutes.
4) Mashout started at 10AM. Initial runnings: 5 gallons at 1.057.
5) Sparged an additional 7 gallons with average 1.021 gravity
6) Preboil: 12 gallons @ 1.036
7) Postboil (after 90 minute boil): 10.2 gallons @ 1.046
8) Forgot to turn the CFC flow on for the first part of the second 5 gallon carboy. Cooled in bath water. At 76'F in 2 hours.
|
|
1) Pitched single pack of XL WYeast for both carboys. Didn't slap it until 7 hours before pitching, and it was only about half way swollen.
2) Aerated heavily.
3) First signs of fermentation showing in both carboys at 30 hours.
4) At 40 hours, getting 4-5 bubbles per second.
5) 1.017 on 8/16 (6.1 Brix reading).
6) 1.015 on 8/24 (6.2 Brix reading).
|
|
Very nice roasty/bitter taste. Color is a bit cloudy after only 4 days, but clearing and is lighter in color than the original. Taste is slightly less carbonation, but very smooth and well rounded with very little after taste beyond the initial bitter/roasted taste.
|
|
Missed OG and FG finished high. Will adjust brew house eff to 65% until I can get this under control. Forgot to turn on CFC flow to cool on half of the second carboy.
