added sugar, gypsum and Irish moss after I pulled the grains at 170 degrees. 30 minute hop stand starting at 145 degrees (missed the 185 mark).
Superbowl Sunday. Ran out of time today. Wanted to be done and chilling before kick off. About the mash; added 1oz acid malt 1 gram Gypsum and 1 gram Calcium Chloride to RO water. Mashed for an hour in the water cooler mash tun. 3 gallons water at 161 into mash tun pre grains. grains were 62 degrees. Preheated tun with 115 tap water. After grains, were added temp ended up around 148. Added 1L just off boil RO water to get mash up to 151.Sparged with 3 gallons straight RO water. heated to ...
Galaxy and Armarillo for some tropical dankness...
Used 3.5 gallons Albertson's drinking water. Says it is RO. Steeped the crystal grains until water temp hit 170 degrees. Added first charge of hops at around 180 degrees (FWH). Started 15 minute timer right after hot break.bucket swamp cooler kept external temp 62-64 degrees. Slight krausen into the air lock. Thinking about dry hopping. .5 oz ColumbusDry hopped with 1 oz Columbus (5/30/15) ambient temp. Slightly warmer temps in the garage 70ish. Finally some hoppy aroma coming from the air lock ...
Dry hopped with .5 oz (each) of Simcoe, Centennial and Armarilio one 2/24/2015. Temp 67FPulled sample to check gravity (2/28/15) gravity was 1.013. Taste was uneventful. Not much dry hop character! WTF?
mash temps are a mystery. need a new thermometer.pre boil gravity 1.030 at 97 degrees...equal to 1.034FG 1.046 @ 95 degrees equal to 1.049 half pack of Nottingham. Quick to show krausen, and quick to fall. Temps around 57 and 58 degrees for first week (in garage). Moved into house and temps stayed around 64F for 2nd week.1/28/2015 Gravity of 1.022 (high mash temps?) Tastes bland, just a hint of roastyness. 2/28/2015 gravity stayed at 1.022. Taste was delicious! Looking forward to the first pull ...
Mash was a disaster. Mash in at 159. Grains were 55. Shooting for 154. Thermometer went fn up to 164? Two thermometers didn't read the same. Who knows...Mash is a guess. Went onto boil. Close boil over. Gravity at 30 minutes was 1.033. Not too bad...FG was 1.043 @ 100 degrees. Brewers Friend calculator converts that to 1.047. Nailed it. Transferred to large glass carboy @ 90-100 degrees. Left in 55 degree garage overnight. Left starter out to acclimate as well. Pitched 2/3 of starter into wort. ...
