BREW DAY NOTES
===============
35L to ~70 degrees
Added grain bill, dropped to 66.4 degrees (not the 64 degrees I wanted)
Mash for one hour, stirred @ 15 mins remaining and recirc
Temp 65.3 degrees
Lift and drain grain bag, preboil volume 31.5L
Added 450g sugar, dissolved, preboil gravity @ 1.056
For 1.070 will need to boil down to approx 25.5L
Got to 26L and begun 250g addition Hallertau additions at 15min, 10min, 5min and 0min
Cooled to 82 degrees and added ~800g of Hallertau, steeped for ~25 mins
Ended up with approx 23L of wort at 1.073 (refract), 1.075 (hydro)
Filled 3L jug for yeast starter
Added 27g Amarillo and 19g Centennial to cube and transferred wort (filled)
Added 50g Idaho 7 for dry hop
Tasting Notes: Needed a much bigger whirlpool/cube-hop addition as it's lacking some flavour and aroma punch. Good body and bitterness, just needs more punchiness. Will add 50g each of Centennial and Amarillo and 20g Galaxy as a keg hop addition for 4 days.
update: That second dry hop did the trick, great combo, tastes amazing!
OG 1.075 FG 1.011 (HYDRO) = 8.4%
