Yeast appears to be just fine after having come to the mailbox Thursday and not being retrieved until Friday afternoon. Was concerned about freezing. |

Second step starter is stirring at 7:30pm. Overshot a tad, 1.7L. That's fine I got a little cushion. |

HOLY CRAP I used Chalk instead of Gypsum. Mash went aobut 5 minutes before realizing this. Draining now (10:45am). Go back to store for more water and start over. Hopefully this turns out ok. Certainly expect some efficiency loss at least. |

I could add 1ml of phos acid to this and drop ph about 0.1, which should be in range regardless of how my fuck up affected this... so I think I'm gonna do that now.... and the end of the mash. |

Squirted 1ml of phos acid in brew kettle and drained first wort into... mash timer was done when I had that thought.
Also put the full 2 pounds of corn sugar in rather than 1.5 pounds, that hopefully compensates for anticipated loss of efficiency. And it does appear I've lost something here due to that water error.
What a mess! |

This looks like its going come in way low... sample in freezer chilling now.
There was 3 gallons of excess drain from sparge. First running looked excess and very light in color. I think that five minutes really cost me. This might end up being a regular IPA, not imperial. |

Well....
47*7.4 = 347.8
347.8 / 5.5 = 1.063
So I would expect this to land about 1.058 or so? |

Go with 20g bittering hops... That makes it about 30 IBU, which should be about 50% of OG.
Drop the flame out hops entirely... go with the 160 degree hops only for 30 minutes.
Plan to drop half of the dry hops also.
This is going to end up being a regular IPA.
Fucked it all up.
Plan to save some of that massive yeast starter too!

I can save 1/3 of this yeast starter too. So put that in a jar and we'll see if I can use it within the next few months. |

The good news is that after steeping those hops for 30 minutes and squeezing out the bag, it smelled like a giant citrus salad. |

Not too bad after is chilled. Got some bitterness in it. Perhaps dry hopping and carbination will bring out more flavor. Not a total loss. |

Tastes like a not quite bitter enough IPA, pretty boring. Should be an easy drink tho. |

In keg, 30 psi, check it tomorrow night, should be ready this weekend.
Taste is ok. Like a mediocre IPA I guess.
It's very very clear, so that's nice. |

It's ok, more of a pale ale than an IPA.
Carbed up nice... put it on 30 for about 18 hours, checked, not quite, so 30 for a few more hours, still a little short, left it over night at serving pressure, then put it to 15 for about 24 hours and it was good. |
