Notes

St. Louis water (think Budweiser) from 1993 (profile):
Chloride (ppm)
Calcium (ppm) 21.0
Magnesium (ppm) 10.7
Sodium (ppm) 19.6
Sulfate (ppm) 66.9
Chloride (ppm) 20.6
Bicarbonate (ppm) 21

Note, used Brewzilla 3.1 for mash and boil.

Using Hawkesbury city water supply, added 0.3gr potassium metabisulfite to 10 gal to reduce chlorine and chloramine.

After day 8, moved the beer into the secondary fermentation unit. And performed a diacetyl rest at 68 deg. F., for 5-days. Day 10 I added 10ml of Clarity Ferm, and day 14, moved the beer into the cold conditioning phase, dropping the temperature slowly to 34 deg. F.
