Notes

11.11.18 Christian helped
Unusual brew day, as we made an error with heating the mash, so we ended up having the beer at almost 162 F, way out of what we wanted! We hope that it doesn't ruin the beer.

At 60, 152 F
At 51, 151.7 F
At 30, it was 162!!! Because we put it on the burner.

PH of 5.4 for the Mash
PH 5.52 for the sparge water

BF predicted 5.5 while Braun Water predicted 5.25. But I did add a bit more water due to the overheating issue, so in practice it looks like they're right in between.

Note that the water report says it is too bitter based on the water profile. I should think about adding CaCL next time.


OG: 1.046

14.11.18 Saw something weird floating in the beer... I tried the beer it tasted strange I need to do a fuller tasting tomorrow to see if it'll be okay.

15.11.18 Dry hopped with Belma, Galaxy, and Citra. Tasted the beer, a bit maltier on the tongue than should be the case. But it could be salvage-able.
