wunderpils Brew Session

131F protein rest for 15 minutes. 5.03 sparge pH. 151F sacch rest for 30 minutes. *didn't add all the boiling water. Added maybe just shy of a half gallon of an RO/tap water mix to get the temp down. 5.49/1.060 first runnings 5.62/1.033 second runnings 5.89/1.010 final runnings 5.49/1.039 pre-boil*added 13 mL phos to BK shortly after boil start 5.19/1.049 post-boil/O.G. Pretty smooth, though not without some hiccups. I forgot I upped the amount of water for the second infusion. This, in combination with a much better insulated mashtun, brought my temp up to around 165. Kept stirring while I added cold RO and tap water to get down to a more ideal sacch temp. Sparge attachment doesn't work great. Haven't used it at the recommended height distance away from the mashtun, because it just doesn't work for my system. Vorlaufing and sparging is a bit more difficult with the new mashtun. It's hard to gently add either wort or water back to the top of the mash, and I end up pulling a good bit of grain into the kettle regardless. Again, fairly straightforward brew, but I'm still adjusting to the pieces of my system. We'll see how this beer ends up tasting. 1/8@1.013 1/11@1.011--kegged 1/20--Began lagering.
