Notes: Alt yeasts can be aggressive, be sure you leave plenty of headspace in your fermentor for the rising head of krauesen. Fermentation should be low and thorough. Shoot for a temperature range between 55° and 62°F and fermentation should be finished within 3 to 6 days. The fermentation should leave a clean beer with little residual sweetness.
After fermentation lager your beer for 4 to 8 weeks at around 40°F this will mellow the hop profile and smooth out any rough edges. It will also help with beer clarity. If you happened to ferment at a higher temperature lagering can help reduce some of the fruity esters inevitably produced. |

Notes: Friday 22nd March 2019 - Brewday
Mashed in with 38L at 67C. Mashed temp set to 64C but was more like 65C throughout on the PID (even when setting the element to 1500W). Thermopen said 64C so a slight difference there
Mash pH = 5.3. Sparged with about 15L of 50C water. Took a long time to run off so transferred from the kettle to a bucket once the kettle was at a boil. Eventually got another 5L at 1.027 from the bucket. 3.5L of this went into the kettle and boiled for 15 minutes. The rest was decanted into PET bottles and frozen for starter wort. I made two vitality starters with some additional wort also. 1500 mL starter for WY1318 and 500 mL for S04 slurry
Boiled for one hour, added the bittering hops after 30 mins. It was difficult to get the right power level on the kettle. With the lid on it always seemed to boil over. Even at 1500W...
OG = 1.062. split between two fermentation kegs and pitched the vitality starters. 23L keg got WY1318. 19L keg got SO4
Sluggish start to fermentation in our cellar (16C). But steady once it started rocking after I had moved it to the pan room at 21-22C. Capped both kegs after about a week and released the pressure 2-3 times a day (broken spund valve). Both kegs did end up building 2.5 bar of head pressure at one point (I hope the yeast didnt autolyse)
Tuesday 2nd April - SO4 keg transferred into DH keg. 100 NS + 55 Mosaic + 31 Citra = approx 10 g/L DH. FG = 1.020. 5.6% ABV
Thursday 4th April - SO4 beer transferred to serving keg. DH keg cleaned, starsan purged and "reloaded" with the WY1318 beer. FG = 1.012. 6.6% ABV
