09/09/16: Brewed successfully overall, except for the fact that I started with the wrong hop addition, but made changes to still equal 25 calculated IBUs.
74% efficiency (calculated for 75) - 13 Brix @1.0505
Intial mash reading was 153.9 after vigorous stirring - at 30 mins it was 152.2 which was on target.
The .115 water loss worked well and there was less left over wort once the bag was lifted - I may try .11 sometime in the future.
Pitched 4.5 oz of yeast slurry.
09/27/16: checked GF again, and it's still sitting at 5.4 brix (1.008 @5.4%) - over-attenuated, but not infected. Initially calculated for 75% attenuation - changed to 83%. Sampled the slurry in the fridge once settled, and it tasted pretty good. Placed inside keezer for conditioning + gas.
10/11/16: sampled a bit and it was overly-carbonated (lowered gas).
The beer is incredibly dry and has like no malt presence - this would have been due to the malt - but it was in no-way pleasant.
Will not re-pitch WLP002 anymore.
