Notes

condition grain overnight with 4.4 oz. Spring water
condition 10 gallons water overnight with two Camden tablets

grain temperature xx° F
heat four gallons strike water to 1xx° F
with 11 g gypsum
mash temperature 1xxx° F
pre-boil gravity 1.0xx

trying a new tack with invert sugar; by adding this in the last ten minutes of the boil I can avoid shocking the yeast by adding it during fermentation. also using only 1/2 pound, at 3.7% this is a small addition to the fermentables.

add invert sugar for last 10 minutes of boil
post-boil gravity 1.065

fermentation temperature xx° F - xx hours after pitching
(basement air temperature xx° F)

split batch at racking time
allow to ferment out, then add dry hops

first dry hop addition
1 oz. Northern Brewer to batch 1
1 oz. East Kent Goldings to batch 2

second dry hop addition
1 oz. Northern Brewer to batch 1
1 oz. East Kent Goldings to batch 2

purple crowns – Northern Brewer dry hopped
red crowns – East Kent Goldings dry hopped
