TARGETING 14 BRIX POST BOIL!!Reached 14 brix post boil with 3 gal mash and 3 gal sparge. For future batches. That was WAY too much water. I think the recipe should be scaled down by 3/4 and it would give the correct volume. I overflowed the fermenter... not proud of that.
Tried to do a mash recirc. with this batch. The wort turned out much more clear than usual, although still cloudy due to the high protein content of oats. I sparged with water just over 170 by doing a fly sparge. The first runnings were first drained and then the sparge water was added maintaining 1" of water over the grain bed. I've found that a piece of tin foil over the grain bed greatly helps my mash. This is because my grain bed is so shallow and adding water back has a tendency to stir up ...
targeting 15.5 brix at end of boil
Pretty much wining it on this one...I'm targeting the exact gravity (20 brix) in the recipe.1 month later I added some brett to get some better character from this beer. I didnt like the initial yeast profile it had.Transfered to a glass carboy and made sure to introduce O2 into the beer so that I could get some acid from the Brett. After 1 month with the brett it has developed some mild tartness. Its sitting at about 8% abv. and still has quite a few gravity points to go.Tasted the soured ...
Strike Temp is 161 to account for temp drop.Mash Temp will fall ~1 F/15 min so recharge and re-stir is required**If you do again use thee full 5 gal of water allocated! 2nd runnings 6 brixpreboil 14 brix (with sugar added)1 L of water added with 20 min left to lower gravity again and maintain volume
Yesterday I picked some ditch hops and they finished drying this morning... time to brew with them!First Runnings: Brix: 15.9Second Runnings: Brix: 3.5Preboil: Brix: 8.9So far so good!
This brew will be done in two steps to get just shy of 3 gallons of wort.The recipe has been doubled but will be done twice due to the mash tun volume!-- First runnings 14.5 brix (Starting OG)-- Second runnings 4 brix (very thin)-- Preboil brix = 7 brix-- First runnings 17 brix (Second batch)-- Second runnings -- not measured--Preboil brix 8-- half hour brix = 9.5OG = 1.038
