Notes

Brewed 7/11/22. Mash in w/15 gallons of Boulder city, 10' at 130 F, raise to 147 F, pull decoction. Add decoction back at 45' raises temp to 154 F, mash out 165 F. New rollers for malt mill seem to have made for a sticky lauter; check grind quality carefully next time. Sparge with 170 f water, plus 1.5 ml lactic acid. Boiled, cooled to 66 F and pitched, about 700 ml from a 2.5 L starter. Gravity 1.055. Primary fermentation at 48 - 50 F.

07/29/22: Racked to keg, gravity 1.016. Placed at 65 F for diacetyl rest. Dregs of fermentor left in garage ferments out to 1.013. CO2/foam coming out of airlock in keg. Decided to leave at 65 F for longer than normal to ensure attenuation.

08/02/22: Moved keg back to keg fridge at 55 F. Temperature slowly dropped to low 30's. Gravity settles out at 1.014.

Tasting notes 9/22/22: Very good fest-type beer. In head to head comparison with Paulaner festbier, color identical. Paulaner was a little wortier/sweeter - mine is a little more crisp and spicy. Drinkable in Mas quantities, as intended...make again!!!
