Notes: Lower efficiency than desired. New homebrew shop so milling might have affected it. Also, pH may have been too high (5.5+) since I did not have proper acidification, although I got same 65% efficiency on my porter brewed the same day, which did not need any acid to achieve 5.3-5.4 pH because of the darker grains.

2L Starter with 8 oz DME. Decanted about 1 L before adding to ~68F wort. Took off right away and within 2 days krausen has filled up headspace of 8 gallon fermentor. Maintaining around 71F wort temperature (ambient in chest freezer is set at 66F).

On day 3 of ferment, gravity sample read ~1.020. Tasted great but still very sweet. Thick 3-4" krausen. Internal temperature dropped from 71F to 69-70F (ambient set at 69F), suggesting fermentation activity slowing down. Removed fermentor from chest freezer to ambient room temps of approximately 77F for natural rise to hopefully achieve full attenuation (I heard 3522 will drop out if temperature drops ). Will check internal temperature after 12 hours.

On day 4 of ferment, gravity sample read 1.014 at 76F internal wort temp (~1.016 adjusted, which would be the average attenuation for the strain; however, I hope to get lower). Ambient temperature is around ~80F in the laundry room. Will likely transfer to 68F temp chamber again on day 6.

On day 5 of ferment, gravity sample read 1.011 at 77F internal wort temp (~1.013 adjusted. I am hoping to get 1.009-1.011 by the end of fermentation). Has a very sweet flavor (honey? sweet orange peel?). Almost tastes underhopped. Do not detect the spices. Still intend on transferring back to temp chamber tomorrow (day 6)

Day 7 - transferred to 66F fermentor.

Day 8 - gravity sample read 1.009. Sitting at 68F. Need to transfer to keg before leaving for Thanksgiving break for 10 days.

Notes: Tettnager hops are 2014 crop, rated at 7.8% alpha. As they're 2 years old, I've guessed at least 30% reduction in alpha effectiveness??? So used 5.2 in the calc.

Notes: 13 ml hop shots at 60 min in boil.

Add lactose and sugar with whirlfloc and yeast nutrient at 5 min in boil.

02-NOV-18: 6 oz cacao nibs toasted (325F for 15 min) and added to enough vodka to cover. 7 vanilla beans added to 6 oz vodka (Add 2oz of tincture at kegging). Coffee beans purchased (KC Roasterie Espresso Tuscany), dry bean with 6 oz in a bag once kegged, taste after 24 hr.

BREW DAY (17-NOV-18):
-----------------------------------
Forget to add the Lactic acid to the mash, expected pH ~5.55 is still in reasonable range for mash.

SG ~1.105

Chilled to 80 F and allowed fermentation to free-rise to ~85F.

UPDATE (23-Nov-18):
Beer kegged, hydro looks to be at 1.022 (pic attached for color). ~265 ml of vodka tincture added to keg with 6 oz of coffee beans. Taste after 24 hr, before deciding to pull bag.
