Notes

40L strike water leaves room for suspended keg hop. Open or psi ferment.

Check valve spund (2-5psi) for first 24 hours
Real spunding (12psi) starting at 24 hours
S-04 (2-5psi) for first 36 hours

1.25 water / 1 dry rice (WEIGHT) in IP 4 mins Pressure cook.
1.023 preboil + 6pts sugar so 1.030 ish


CONVERSELY ... the higher chloride batch (95ppm / Sulfate = 66ppm) gives more malt character and less hop sharpness. This has become less mini IPA and more true summer sipper. Crystal clear in a week too. I think I prefer this version. Maybe it was the 1.006 finish? Might even up the sugar from 13% to 18% for a tiny little extra dry finish. Overall ... A-

75% is bang on for brewhouse eff w/ no sparge
7-9 degrees hotter in F strike to hit mash temp

V20. Moderate sulfates, nice mosaic pop, DROPPING boil kettle hops is absolutely the way.
