Notes
  • FIRST TIME USING WATER TREATMENT. Used more than the 2 tablespoon gypsome and 1 Tablespoon salt (3 and 1.5) suggested by Jake, who said 2 and 1, but I use a bit larger batch I think.
  • Used a colandar to put mash water in. This worked well but top three inches of water were above grain, so gentle stired grain to top. Worked well. Have hot water liquor spout directly over grain.
    -OG 1046. 66 percent. Slightly less perhaps due to not stirring spare.
  • Bit confused as I used 115 gr for Vienna IPA thinking this would give me 2.5 co2, but the calculator says I should have used much more sugar to get 2.5, so perhaps I did it wrong. But, Vienna carbonation is pretty good and only a bit under carb. So, this time I will do 2.3 co2 for 25 litres at 16C which suggests 132 gr of sugar. Peter suggest 90 gr for 25 litres, so we shall see.
  • FG 1009, so 4.9 ABV. Beer tastes good but not terribly hoppy or bitter as expected. Racked into bottles with a bit more carbonation than normal, hop.
