Golden Boi

Setup done in garage, under cover, no wind, ambient temperature approximately 18°C. Heated 45L water in kettle to 70°C strike temperature, added all grain, mashed for 60mins. Insulated kettle with quilts and occy straps. Temperature monitored, dropped to 67°C after 60mins. Stirred mash once, did not want to lose too much heat. BIAB removed with grain, only salvaged minimal liquid from BIAB, did not drain or sparge into separate container. Small lpg burner used to boil - took 90 mins to reach 95°C. Added hops as per hop schedule above using large hooked strainer for Pride of Ringwood hops, subsequent hops added using hop balls placed into the large strainer. Removed heat source, removed hops. First use of immersion chiller (approx 10metres 1/2" copper tubing coil), reduced temperature of wort from approximately 95°C to 25°C in 25mins! Transferred wort to fermenter. Yeast starter made 200ml, added to fermenter. Temperature set on fermenting fridge at 22°C. Active fermentation after 1 day. Temperature drop to 19°C day 5. FG1008 day 15, cold crash to 3°C for 7days. Keg 2 x kegs - not closed transfer but kegs filled with water after cleaning and emptied with CO2 at 10psi. Gas outlet connected to fermenter airlock inlet so C)2 forced out of kegs replaces volume in fermenter. (Best method used so far to reduce oxidation!)
