Notes: Something will always go wrong during mash. Before it was coming in six or so degrees under temperature but this time I hit the temperature exactly right. I hit it too well. It was 152, not 148, so I added more water. It hit 148 and I decided to add the rest of the water, which was not just the mash volume of 6.25 quarts but that volume plus the 3.8 I had reserved for mash out. So I mashed in about 9.75 quarts to 5 lbs of grain and at about 147 after I'd made the mistake of using up all my water.
It worked fine. I vorlaufed twice and then batch sparged with 3 quarts in two batches.
When topped up to 3.6 gallons I had a gravity of 1.04 which meant 79% efficiency. Very good.
I boiled for 60 minutes
1.5 oz of tettnanger for 60 min,
0.75 oz of tettanager for 20 min
1 tsp irish moss w/ 10 min left in boil
Cooled in ice bath. It took 9 minutes for the temperature to go under 170 and stop extracting alpha acids.
Racked to 6.5 gal carboy, topped up to 5.25 gal.
Chilled to 51.6 degrees f
Took sample for gravity reading and to check color. Gravity was a perfect 1.060. Perfect.
Color was a rich mahogany with a whisper of red.
Muh-HAW-gun-ee
Pitched yeast slurry at midnight 7/10/2022.
Not much lag time. Most of the actual fermentation occurred between 49 and 51f for the first 4 days. I allowed the temperature to rise to about 53/54f and held it there for the next 3 days.
After 8 days fermentation had slowed significantly and I recorded a gravity reading of 1.016. I stopped replenishing the frozen 2 liters I use to cool the fermentation chamber and let the temp rise over the next 6 days to the room temp of 65. I figured this would allow the yeast to finish out the fermentation and also function as a slow-moving diacetyl rest.
I was pleased to find that the temp rose fairly slowly, about 2.5 degrees per day. The 2 liter bottles stayed cold to the touch even after they had thawed. That insulated barrel bag works great.
On 7/21 I recorded a gravity reading of 1.012, my exact target gravity. I'm hoping it stays put there.
9/26 - Fined with gelatin, recorded a gravity reading of 1.011, just a hair over my target FG. Color is darker than expected. Not by much but enough that from now on I think we need to do late additions on all the extracts.

Notes: Heat 2.5 gal water to 165 degrees strike temp, about 10 degrees above mashing temperature (2qts of water per pound of grain, recommendation is 1.5-2)
Add and mash grains for 60 mins at ~152 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring lightly and occasionally
Toward end of mashing, heat sparge water to 170 degrees F and hold there until ready to use (roughly 1.5-2 quarts per lb of grain, so aim for 8qts, or 32 cups/2gal, for 5lbs of grain in this recipe)
When mash is done, raise to 168 degree mash-out temperature (stops starch breakdown)
Once at mash-out, lift grains above wort and slowly pour sparge water over grains.
Bring wort to slight boil / boiling temperature (200 degrees F), turn off heat, and add malt extract, stirring vigorously to avoid burning on bottom.
Boil 20 minutes and add hop additions at 10 mins left (1 oz Mosaic) and 5 mins left (1oz NB Galaxy)
Turn off heat and add hop stand hops. Cover and steep for 15 mins (at between 190-200 degrees F).
Cool wort, add to fermenter with any additional water to bring to full volume. Swirl to aerate for a few minutes then pitch yeast (test gravity before pitching).
FIRST DRY HOP: Add 2oz Galaxy and 2oz Nelson Sauvin at high krausen (24-48 hours)
SECOND DRY HOP (flexible timing): Add 2oz Galaxy and 2oz Nelson Sauvin at 6-7 days into fermentation, or about 5-7 days before bottling or kegging
---
*Water additions for distilled water:
About 6g calcium chloride and 2g gypsum (calcium sulfate) for 5gal batch; add to warm water for better dissolving
Target ion levels only reflect addition of calcium chloride—unsure of ion additions from malt extract. |
