Notes

Brew Day - 10/14/19

Use Distilled Water
Water Salt Additions:(Mash Water Only) for pH: 5.21
Gypsum - 2.5 g
Epsom Salt - 3 g
Salt - .5 g
Calcium Chloride - 5 g

Mash with 4.5 Gal. (18 Qt)
Mash at 153F for 60 minutes (my temp was low so I added about 2 qts. boiling water)
Mash pH = 5.25

Sparge with 4.58 Gal (18.3 Qt)
Forgot to adjust for the 2 qts of extra water that I added at mash. This gave me more wort in my kettle.

Pre-Boil Volume = 8.5 Gal
Pre-Boil pH = 5.33
Pre-Boil Gravity = 1.038

Boiled wort for 90 minutes to get OG = 1.057
Added hops according to schedule.

Chilled wort and racked to fermenter.
Oxygenated wort and pitched yeast (Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes)
Fermented at 67-68 F for first 3 days.
Let temp rise to 70-71*F afterwards
