Landed all up at 1.060 OG. Way to high! Otherwise, all smooth. I think I have rather high efficiency. Crush grain rather fine and using a thin boil kettle mash @ 4.5:1. Ph 5.2. Pitched yeast @ 8 C. Two packets of 35/70 dry yeast sprinkled at foam. Everybody says to rehydrate. I have done both many many times, I just dont see any difference in results, so then why bother? It seems to kind of rehydrate at the foam. I never strir or skake yeast in. This works amazingly well every time, and always start to ferment within a couple of hours, max. Using pure oxygen. Let it ferment @ 10 C for a week, then ramp up to 12 C. After 11 days, down to 1.020. Now ramping up to 16 C, maybe 20 C to finish of fermentation. Looking for 1.010 due to higher OG.
