Notes: Brew Day August 6.
Lalvin 71B two packs
1.25 gallon local orange blossom honey
Well water
Pitch at 60F
Aerate with O2 for 20 seconds. Added 1/2 nutrient in one cup water
staggered nutrient every other day to complete additions.
fermenting at 62F
August 21- airlock still showing activity ~ 3 bubbles per minute

Sept 20 SG = 1.022. No airlock activity. Taste is still very sweet. strong alcohol notes. Needs more time. After opening bucket, flooded it with CO2 prior to reclosure

Oct 11. SG = 1.020 transfered ~ 2 g to cabroy containing 3 # raspberry puree

remainder transfered to secondary. Still too sweet.

1/7/17 The raspberry batch SG dropped to 1.010 but still tasted too sweet (other wise good!)

The main batch was about 1.018 and too sweet. (otherwise good) Made a 100 mL slurry of champagne yeast and added ca65 mL to the big batch and 35 mL to the raspberry batch.

2/24/17 tested the raspberry mead: SG = 1.004 Tastes good! Bottle time! CAP label M2

4/1/17 The main batch is stuck at 1.018. Taste is good. Bottled. 13.7% ABV cap label is M1

Notes: BREW NOTES
First brewed 30/08/2015. Want to try push mash temp up and see whether improves mash efficiency.

MASH NOTES.
Only getting around 60-63% efficiency. Have tried all manner of things to bump up. Looked through old notes and remembered that even with a pre Tun heat up, I still need an extra 2 deg C on top of brewers friend calcs. Last 3 brews all around 64-65 deg C mash temp on purpose.(wanted drier beers then but efficiency suffered) This time have bumped up mash temp extra 2 deg aiming for 67-68 deg C over 90 mins. Extra 2 deg C last thing to test before changing to smaller esky cooler Tun.
Ambient temp 18 deg C (end of winter) 30/08/2015
I have tun insulated with cardboard and wrapped in blanket.
Single Infusion.
Grain temp 13 deg C
2.5 L/1kg grain
Strike (brewers Friend) 21L @ 77deg C.
Actual Strike 79.5 Deg C. Adjust for your equipment.
After 30 mins sitting on 67-68 Deg C. Stirred
After 60 mins sitting on 66 Deg C. Added 2L boiling water. No noticeable temp changed.
After 90 mins finished at
Mash Out
Raised temp to 68-69 deg C stir and mash for 10 more minutes = 4 liters @ boiling (adjust for your equipment)
Took first running's and Re-circ'd added
12 litres @ boiling to reach 77 deg C sacc
Lauter to desired wort volume (if needed)
34 L in brew pot (adjust for your equipment) this is a 25L batch. See above.
Pre Boil OG 10.30

BOIL NOTES
See hop schedule above. Adjust AA for IBU's in your area.
90 min boil
Whirl-flock 10 min to go
Add Immersion chiller 10 min to go
Cool to desired ferm temp
Whirlpool

FERM NOTES
Nottingham yeast (Danstar) re-hydration 1.064 slightly high for 1 packet. I re-hydrated only.
Original Gravity 1.076 way higher but 22L
Final Gravity
ABV %

After BREW Notes
Mash temp rise to 68deg C haven't worked. Hit 1.076 but 22L. This is 63% which is my standard efficiency. I added 2L of fresh water to bring it down to 1.070 may add another 1L to make 1.067. Brewer's Friend calcs at 63% efficiency. Had my usual 34 liter to start boil. Left a bit more in pot so not as much trube went in, but still 6L off. Not sure why the extra boil off today.
The extra 2L of water isn't something I like to do, but ABV would be too high for 1 packet of dry yeast. Extra water will bring with some oxygen to aid yeast. Should it attenuate as per all my other brews 80%+ 1.010 i'll end up with an imperial-ish 7.8% 1.012 finish 7.6% down side is I wanted a hoppy plain-ish IPA lucky the extra IBU's are in it as it will still be a balanced beer with a 1.012+ finish.

FG 1.016 added extra water.ABV 6.69%
