Notes: Brewed 7/20/14. Strike water was 174F and it was about 152F. Recirculated about a gallon and a half down to 150F. I added 1lb rice hulls because when recirculating it got a bit stuck. I adjusted my mill gap recently so that might be a factor. Ph reading was 5.2 which was what was supposed to be predicted. Mash was very thick and could have maybe used more water. Vorlaugh was a bit slow maybe due to a lot of grains. Sparge was under by about a half gallon so I heated a half gallon more and sparged with that. Boil OG was 1.068 which puts the kettle efficiency at 73% which is a bit low. I believe I actually had about 8.75 or 9 gal pre-boil which probably wasn't that good. Efficiency was way down again. I didn't boil off enough so maybe that is why. Had about a half gallon extra in the boil. The huge drop in efficiency might be because of that. Pitch was about 72F and I cooled it to drop it a bit more. Ended up being about 64F and fermentation. 7/21 morning, fermentation has started and is sitting at about 65F. By evening it had drifted up to 69F so I cooled it back to 66F. I also added 6oz of turbinado to kick the OG and alcohol up a bit more. 7/22 the brew heated up to about 70F by morning so I cooled it down to about 66F. Might have cooled down lower than 66F, but by night time it was at 67F. 7/23 morning the brew had heated up to 70F cooled it to 68F. Was still sitting at 68F by evening. 7/24 out of swamp today, temp about 71F. It finished fermenting at about 75F as it has been quite hot. Took a gravity reading on 8/20/14. Fermented a bit more than expected but it tastes awesome. FG is a bit lower than I wanted but we shall see how the body holds up with a bit of age and carbonation. Prolly from the extra sugar. Kegged 8/22/14. Force carbed it and bottled all of it on 2/3/15, bottle code RS3. Beer had a very nice coffee and dark chocolate notes. Very smooth and balanced with a nice body despite it fermenting down more than desired.

Notes: Brewdate: 12 February 2018. Captain Slog:

This brew close to Graham Wheeler recipe for relatively low-alcohol best bitter from Black Sheep. Followed recipe quite closely, upping Challenger hop dose from 21g to 25g to compensate for relatively low AA content. Otherwise identical.

Noticed during mash that Braumeister 'fly sparge' was uneven, showing preferred channels through the grain pipe. Not seen this before and wondered if the thinner mash was responsible (at 5.85L/kg, it was significantly thinner than we usually do, with a target of ABV 3.8%).

Measured OG after mash at 1.040, indicating 65% efficiency despite uneven flow through malt pipe. Volume into fermenter was 20L and OG 1.042, projected ABV 4.0%.

Fermentation set-point 19C, actual T will be close to 19.5C.

FG 1.006 - adjusted attenuation to 83%.
