Notes

Made three 4L. starters this time to try to reach ProBrewer 1.75 recommended 1966 Billion cells. New yeast for us. Made the starters and fermented them at 55 deg. Also new for us. Seemed to make not quite as much yeast. We'll see...

observed mash pH was 5.25 ish - battery might be getting low

mashed 30 minutes at 146 and 30 at 155.

First runnings 1.084
Last runnings 1.006
Preboil was very high - 1.054 we threw out a bunch of wort and replaced it with water!
OG - 1.055

Into the fridge at 76 after chilling. Had to bring it down to 45 for pitching. Pitched all 3 starters about 30 hours later when the temp was 47. Activity apparent in about 30 hours.
