Filtered tap water, no additions
set grain mill to read 0.50" (actual cruch is lease when the wing nuts are tightened, low efficiency, double crush next timeFerment at 65fRe-used US05 from previous Pale Ale
Barley milled at 0.39"Fermented at 65FDry hopped in Mason Jar (next time use hop bag)
First Robobrew daypurchase water from Fine Vine Pretty easy to use, although I added too much sparge water and lowered my efficiecyLet settle in fermentor over night before pitching yeast, to remove excess Trub and opefully re-use the yeast
BIAB double baggedMilled grain to 0.30"No Sparge method60 min mash, started at 150f dropped as low as 146f re heated and ended at 148fmash out at 170f for 10minsBoil an add hops as per recipeflame out, weight 10 mins to cool11 minutes to chill to 70f, let it sit for 30 mins to settle out trub
BIAB - no sparge0.39" mill (x2)Used the Maui cooler to maintain Mash temp, work very well.....152-154 averageMash out at 170 for 10 minspre-boil gravity is very high....???post boil seems okFermented in the Juice jar. only able to rack 5 liters. Carbination might be too high
BIAB brew with no spare. 0.40 grian millStarted with 1.85 gallons of water, strike water was 5 degrees too hot, I left the lid off to cool the mash to 152 before starting timer.Next time adjust mash thickness to remove the need to sparge.
mash in the Red Kettle.Grain mill set up to 0.65" (I think this is why my mash efficiency was so poor) efficiency was 55%
BIAB, Hard time keeping mash at 150, heated up a couple of time, some hot spots in Mash.Sparge water heated to 170 F, soak Beer bag in sparge water for 10 mins, (no particals in Wort...looks really clean) before coolingVery cloudy in the fermenter after pitching yeast, hopefully it settles out.OG was 0.005 points less than it should have been but the recipe still looks good compared to the rating scale.1.016 FG = 6.2% ABV
