Notes

Mash notes: strike water was exactly 150degF which yielded a 143 initial mash temp that was sustained 20 minutes into beta amylase. pH was 5.49 after 25 minutes. Need to use the full 6oz of acid next time, even with only 8# of base. Seems like the rice may have a higher pH than Barke Pils. Took 9 minutes to heat from beta to alpha temps, 163degF. Started sparge water late, so the alpha rest went 43 minutes before sparge started vs. planned 30 mins.

Blaming complete ass efficiency on it being around 30degF outside which likely swung my mash kettle temps, and the flaked rice getting through the false bottom.

Pitch 3L of decanted starter. Yeast bed will be used for Kohatu single-hop IPL in ~2 weeks.

Kegged on day 10 with 1 oz of Sorachi Ace dry hop, approx. 1.017 FG. Going to leave it at 60degF in the keg for another week or so to hopefully attenuate a bit more before lagering.

Sorachi Ace (US) 1oz - Developed in Japan in 1984 for Sapporo Breweries, Ltd., Sorachi Ace is a cross between Brewer's Gold, Saaz and Beikei No. 2 male. It is available in limited quantities, however, it remains a popular variety among craft brewers for its unique citrus fruit, herbal and dill aromas. Aroma: Specific aroma descriptors include lemon, lime and dill. Typically 11.5-14.5% AA

Saphir (DE) 1oz - Released in 2002 by the Hop Research Center in Hüll with a combination of “noble” hop characteristics with good cultivation properties. Usage: Aroma. As a higher-yielding, more disease-resistant alternative to Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Saphir can be used in many of the same formulations: Belgian ales, Weissbiers, farmhouse ales, as well as traditional continental lagers. Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Strongly but pleasantly spicy with sweet, fruity overtones (citrus, red berries). Mild and approachable in the “noble hop” sense. Typically 2-4.5% AA
