Notes

Mash at 151 for 90 mins.

5 gallon batch Anvil foundry no sparge method.

Starting water 7.4 (7 gallons 6.5 cups) gallons strike temp 156 degrees, to mash at 151 for 90 mins.

Strike water was at 156 expecting that to bring mash to 151
Actual temp:

There was an issue with the grain mill, I had tweaked it a bit and had to hand crank.

Pitched yeast at 53 degrees because foundry temp probe is acting weird. Fermenting at 75 degrees (73-77 flex)

Target OG was: 1.073 (usual 62 efficiency)
Actual OG was: 1.064 (usual 53 efficiency)

Target ABV: 7.2% ABV
Actual ABV:


Kegged on 3/25:

Basic review, I liked, need to taste next to a Chimay red. Nick said not to spec, but lets see....
