- Put in 6 g (1.5 tsp) of gypsum into mash water only (this boosted calcium ppm from 37 to 92.8)
- Put in 5 g (1.1 tsp) of calcium chloride into mash water only (this boosted SO42-/Cl- ratio from "concentration too low for meaningful ratio (24/15)" to "1.4 Balanced (95.3/66.4)")

Notes
  • Using 3 liquid packages of 1056 American ale yeast
  • Target mash temp was 153 F, we hit 152.2 F
  • Targeted PB OG 1.046, hit 1.049 (12 Brix)
  • Targeted 1.058 OG, hit 1.060 OG (14.5 Brix), brew house efficiency was 73% compared to 70% expected
  • Started fermentation at 64F, raised to 65F on day 2, raised to 66F on day 5, raised to 67F on day 6, raised to 68F on day 7, raised to 69F on day 8
  • Took gravity reading on day 8 and reading was 1.012. So actual attenuation was 79% vs. 75% expected.
