Notes

Mash 153

used balanced profile for water. Gypsum 4.5g and CaCL 5g for mash

From previous red ale recipe

2024 recipe malt is the same. Hops different. Will let ferment longer.

mash 6 gallons

April 2025 og 1.063 fg 1.020 5.54% (80+ efficiency)
9.5 marris. Will do everything the same next except decrease the marris to 8lb.

6/29 used the 8lbs marris and efficiency is only 63% og 1.040 maybe do 8.75lb next time? will see the FG

     7/20  FG 1.012.  This batch is a fail.  strange bitter flavor only                  3.81% no malt flavor.  I will not be taking this to B and S.  likely need to go to at least 8.75 Marris if not 9 lb.
