Absence-o-Flight Brew Session

Mash volume: 20 cups water Sparge volume: 24.5 cups water Strike Temp: 162 F Mash Temp: 152 F Sparge Temp: 152 F Flaked barley was accidentally ground along with other specialty grains, resulting in very dense grain bed during mash/sparge. Lots of floating sediment at the end of the boil as well, which quickly clogged the auto-syphon. Added 6 cups of water to the boil volume. Still resulted in slightly less than 2 gallons in the fermenters. Suspect the barley absorbed a significant amount of the liquid volume. O.G. = 1.060 Beer will ferment for 1 week in primary fermenters, then will be racked into secondary fermenters. During secondary fermentation, "dry-hop" with cacao nibs and add liquid peanut butter extract.
