| Notes: Add salts to HLT. Mash in with all grain and 65 L of HLT water. Follow Mash and Lauter schedule. This is a thick mash so sparge slowly and be patient. Boil for 75 minutes, the first hop strike is for 60 minutes and the second one for 5 minutes. Add antifoam as needed. Whirlpool for 15 minutes and let rest for 20 minutes. KO @ 17 C and set the fermentation vessel to 20 C. Pitch yeast and allow wort temperature to rise to 20 C. |

Notes: - Had to add some Saaz because hops at LHBS were lower in AA than expected
- First time doing a starter with new "best by" dates from wyeast. They have said that the yeast viability assumptions in yeast starter calculators are inaccurate and that their viability does not diminish at such rates. Best by date was 5/11/21, I picked up yeast packet on 11/4/20. Research on the interwebs lead me to assume -6 months from best by date for manufactured date. So in this case I just assumed 100% viability to build the starter.
- Brewed on 11/7/20
- Mash water = 3.88 gallons (14.7 liters)
- Sparge water = 3.82 gallons (14.5 liters)
- Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had 25.3 liters or 6.68 gallons.
- Expecting mash efficiency of 90% (at expanded wort volume) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.042. This is using grain father's mash efficiency calculator. Would be 86.65% on brewer's friend. Aiming higher as my last couple smaller grain bill achieved this level of mash efficiency.
- Mash temp settled right it at ~148F
- Hit 11.3 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.045 vs. 1.042 target so 89% mash efficiency (92% at 6.86 gallons) (92.1% on brewer's friend) vs. 90% expected. Hit the expected efficiency but was a bit low on volume so pre boil gravity was higher than expected.
- Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons (after wort cools) so boil-off tool estimates 1.046 OG, Actual original gravity reading was 12.3 plato which converts to 1.050 vs 1.046 expected. Everything went as expected except pre boil volumes which resulted in 4pts higher OG than target.
- Forgot whirlfoc tablet in boil, also forgot potassium metabisulphite for sparge water (remembered for mash). Not my best day.
- After boil had ~6.XX gallons [XX.X liters] (expected 6.0 not expanded, 6.26 expanded) in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter.
- Pitched yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 50F, started slowly raising temp on day 10, went up 1-2F per day until 60F and then held.
- Packaged on 11/24/20, batch #48, FG was 1.008 (at 64F) which converts to 1.008 so 81% attenuation vs 75% avg. and 80% expected
- Fill keg to 51.78 pounds = (1.008FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.72 (empty keg weight + packaging hoses attached). Barely got 51.78, had to tip fermenter a bit. |

Notes: Primary 7 days @ 68 F, then rack to secondary.
Secondary 14 days @ 72 F.
In the secondary...
3 poblano peppers
1/2 habanero pepper
Roast the peppers over an open flame until all of the outer surface is charred black. Set them aside, covered and allow them to steam until cool enough to handle. Remove the charred surface, cut off the stem and remove the placenta and seeds, then cut them into strips lengthwise and heat them in an oven for 10 minutes at 200 °F (93 °C). Once cool, add the peppers to the secondary for 7 days. Use hop basket to facilitate removal.
