Added half pound rice hulls, which helped a lot with sparge. Used Idaho 7, el dorado, and mosaic
Used .35 * 12lbs for strike water, which seemed like a good thickness. Only did a 30 minute boil with no hops, all hops in whirlpool. New hop filter worked great.
I accidentally added 1lb honey malt instead of 0.5 lb. upped the base malt to 10 lbs. seems like my efficiency wasn’t great, but hey it’s the first time I’ve brewed in over a year. Next time I need more strike water. Mash was too thick. 5/5 dry hopped at high krausen 2oz each mosaic/Idaho 7/el dorado
I used 2.5 lbs Marris otter. Simcoe and citra for brew day hops, dry hopped with citra, el dorado, 007 golden hop Dry hopped on 2/21Kegged 3/3 - 6.1% abv
10/11 Dry hopped 6oz at high kruasen
9/10 dry hopped 2nd charge. 1.5 oz citra, 0.5 oz each mosaic and el dorado 9/18 kegged. 1.011 FG w/hydrometer
Galaxy unavailable, swapped out with Vic Secret. Measured OG with hydrometer and refractometer. Both came out at exactly 1.058. Nailed it. Did about a 20 minute hop stand8/5 dry hopped 1oz citra1oz Vic Secret 8/13 kegged. 1.008 FG6.7% abv
Went with magnum for bittering, centennial and citra. Scaled down the grain bill to 10 lbs 2 row for less volume in m and b. Hit my numbers and ended up with about 4.8G7/11 kegged at 48F. Was cloudy. Didn’t fine. Will fine in keg7/13 beer is clearing up!! Still needs conditioning
See hand written notes. Used more strike and sparge water. First brew with cereal killer, got much better efficiency. Had to add about .5 gallon water to reduce gravity from 1.070 to 1.060. *** not using enough sparge water. M&B instructions produce about 5-5.5g pre-boil, this recipe rated for 7g pre-boil!!!! Need to adjust accordingly. Used Amarillo instead of citra. Will dry hop both cascade and Amarillo 5.2 gallons into fermenter 5/31 dry hopped ~1.7 oz cascade/Amarillo 6/4 FG 1.011. ...
A little short on volume. Added 1 quart water. Heat more sparge water next time. 3/15 added dry hop addition. 3/23 kegged 1.08 FG hydrometer, 30psi at 1030am
First brew on MB. Need mor strike and sparge water next time. Need a hop spider. See hand written notes.
did a half quart sparge at 168F over grains while straining.Had two different SG readings:1.062,1.058. First was taken at end of boil, second was taken after cooling and cold break from top of wort. Go with 1.060 as OG1/3;1/4 slowly increased temp to 70F. Krausen mostly dropped, increased temps caused airlock activity to pick up1/7 dry hopped1/11 added gelatin 1/13 kegged 7.1 Bx 1.011 hydrometer at 60F. 6.3?v
