Notes

Using up odds and sods and looking to create a nice hoppy fruity summer IPA. Using Yeast slurry from Nottingham Ale yeast. Hoping to be a hoppy slightly sweet malty light coloured Ale.
Crush grains half at size 5 speed 2.5 and half at size 6 2.5 speed.
Achieved 53L in fermentor at 1.045 73.13% efficiency which is lower than my usual. Fast Mash and very fast Sparge so was expecting a reduced efficiency.
No mid mash stir. Very clear wort after only 30 mins Mash.
Forgot yeast nutrient and Protofloc.
Very active ferment within 12 hours. Reached 1.035 18 hours. 1.024 in 36 hours. RAPT Pill and Temp controller now slowly raising temp over 3 days to 24C. Pill reads a bit high, was 1.055 at start when the wort was actually 1.045. Pill gets more accurate as SG drops.
