Notes
  • Brewed on 9/15/18
  • Expecting mash efficiency of 76% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.049
  • Initial PH was 6.0 (didn't add any lactic acid at outset of mash), added 3ml of lactic acid and second reading was 5.8, added 3 more ml of lactic acid and reading was 5.7, added 2 more ml of lactic acid and final reading was 5.6. Not sure why PH drops minimally with lactic acid additions. Might need to re-calibrate PH meter. **Update. Think my issue was not mixing the lactic acid with the water prior to doughing in.
  • Mash temp settled at ~152F
  • Hit 12.7 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.051 vs. 1.049 target so 79% mash efficiency vs. 76% expected
  • Original gravity reading was 15.5 plato which converts to 1.063 vs. 1.066 expected.
  • After boil had ~X.XX? gallons in the kettle and ~5.75 gallons made it into the fermenter
  • Pitched 1 smack pack of wyeast 1335; started fermentation at 65F.
  • Still some very small airlock activity 2 weeks later! Starting to do a small cold crash to stop fermentation so I can package and see where attenuation ended up. Might need to adjust pitch rate for next batch to speed up fermentation process.
  • Packaged on 9/29/18, FG reading was 1.015 vs. 1.016 expected so 76% vs. 75% expected attenuation
