Notes: - Brewed on 11/10/18
- Heated strike water to 164F, doughed in and quickly settled at 153F mash temp
- Expecting mash efficiency of 76% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.053. Took many samples inside which ranged from 12.7 to 13.1 (but hit 13.1 multiple times).
- Added brewing salts and lactic acid to the strike water prior to doughing-in
- Initial PH was X.X vs. 5.41 expected. PH meter still not calibrated correctly. So assuming expected mash PH was reached.
- Put honey into brew kettle at 130-140 degrees. Expecting honey to add ~4 gravity points so 1.057 then expecting boil to reduce down to 1.074 original gravity. Used 1 pound instead of 1.5 because I thought I was at 1.055 before honey addition instead of 1.053 expected and the 1 pound still added 4 points so 1.059. Turns out was only at 1.053 so prolly added 3 points getting me to 1.056.
- Ginger goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Cinnamon goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Original gravity was 16.2 plato which converts to 1.066. 10.75 gallons was left in the kettle after boil. 10.5 made it into fermenters. Expected the boil off to contribute more points. Something with the numbers when wrong and not sure where. Took multiple readings for OG and it consistently was ~16 plato. **Figured it out. Boil off and gravity point contributions vary depending on wort volumes. I based my assumptions off 5 gallon batches for this 10 gallon batch. Should have targeted a higher pre boil gravity (~1.064 to try and hit 1.074 original gravity).
- Packaged on 11/25. FG was 1.014 at 69F, which converts to 1.015 which implies 75% attenuation (which is what I expected) vs. 69% avg attenuation for the yeast.
- This beer scored a 39.5 and finished second in its category in the Square Kegs Winterbrew 2019 competition.

Notes: Grains added at about 40 degrees as water was heating, for mini acid and protien fly bys!
Single decoction mash used - 67 c Sach rest for full body for 60 mins, then about 6litres of grain with some wort removed for boiling. Decoction brought to boil, whilst main wort temperature raised for mash out slowly. Mash out at 75 c.
Started with 22.5 litres of water, after sparge there was about 24 / 25 litres, after 90 min boil and decoction, I was left with only about 18 litres and had to liquor back to get to desired SG and volume of 1.053 /54.
Next time start boil with more water.

| Notes: Brewed 5/11/14. Sparge water use .9ml of acid. Not doing water adjustments or trying to correct mash pH this brew. Strike water was 166F which hit about 153F. I recirculated 2 gallons and hit 151F, supposed to be 150F but oh well. pH was 5.2 without any adjustment. Sparge runnings never went past 3 brix. Boiling for 90 min but only 60min with hops. Kettle efficiency was 90%. Decided to pitch on top of my Golden Strong cake which used the desired yeast. Didn't boil off quite as much so a bit left in the kettle. Maybe a quart or so. I got much better efficiency than I thought. Maybe because of a slower sparge. By morning the brew was sitting at 69F with little activity. Guess the 550 wasn't very active anymore. I pitched 2 packets of Danstar Belle Saison that I didn't rehydrate first. Hopefully that is enough yeast. Bottled this on 2/22/15 at 2.5 volumes. Bottle code SRB. |
