Notes

Use BK to heat and treat 10 gallons of water 1/2 filtered 1/2 RO
after collecting 7.5 gallons only 1 quart or wort left.
SG before boiling 1.054 (better extraction than anticipated) The hop from the south side of building, dried and vacuum sealed put in freezer in fall 2023. Bag still sealed, nice aroma not oxidized.
using hop spider(s) spike BK set to 50% boiling nicely.
24 liters in conical, install cooling coil after pitch yeast
SG after boil 1.060
day two pressure up to 5 psi fermentation active temp 55 F
day 5 pressure 5 psi Temp 55 F Sg 1.036 Temp up to 58
Day 8 pressure 5 psi Temp 58 sg 1.032
day 14 dump some trub / yeast
day 15 sg 1.012 temp 66
did cold crash to 48 for 3 days
in keg in fridge for 12 days
Use conical from primary / dump yeast/ seal and pressure ferment at 5 to 10 psi
cold crash and the transfer to keg.
2 week later transfer to serving keg .
first taste april 24 a bit cloudy need more c02mot to bitter slight malt taste .
counter pressure bottle Maybe.
april 26 transfer to keg second
did not bottle, all gone from keg Great beer. Brew again.
