Notes
Aim for 5.4 mash pH max, use additional acid if needed.
Pitch big starter. Ferment at 50 for 7 days, then diacetyl rest at 60 for 7 days, then cold crash & lager.
1/29/26 Brew Day: Had to edit for lower AA Hallertau. Originally was .5oz at 60m, edited up to .75oz to keep IBUs & BU/GU reasonable. Using NovaLager instead of Wyeast 2206 because the Wyeast 2206 got dumped a year ago when I went into anaphylaxis instead of making this beer lol.
Mash: went fine but gravity was consistently low. Added a mash out at 170 of 10 min to try to rinse the grains a bit more and bring down the viscosity and then realized I forgot to adjust the acidity. So going into boil w/ a pH of 5.5, which is a little high. Wound up with a preboil gravity of 1.037. Will boil for a bit longer to try to squeeze another point or two out of it.
Not using whirlfloc this time so will whirlpool for 15 min at 175 to try to get decent flocculation in the kettle.
Big trub pile left in the kettle but a fair amount still got into the fermenter -- transferred too fast (I am certainly rusty).
OG: 1.047.
Intended to ferment in a chamber that never got bought because of the above or pressure ferment. Don't have the chamber and didn't clean out a keg to pressure ferment, so going to let it fly uncontrolled. Should be fine since that part of the house stays between 55-62, and that's right in the middle of the Novalager range.
