Notes

Mashed at 152 for 70 minutes. Began recirculation through HERMS to raise temp to mash out.

19.5 Brix after sparge (14 gal) Raised volume to 18.5 gals. Boiled 45 minutes. Post-boil Brix 16.2 (OG 1.066)

Ferment at 50F until SG 1.013 (80% attenuation). Then raise temp 3-4 degrees every day until 60F. Let yeast cleanup for 3-5 days and complete fermentation at 60F.

SG 1.016 on 4Sep22 at 60F.

Cold crash to at least 40F and add gelatin to clarify. Let sit for 3 days, SG 1.015 on 12Sep22

transfer to kegs and place in kegerator to lager for 2-4 weeks.
