(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Brewed 1/18. -Protein Rest@127F for 20 minutes. -Sacch rest started at 154F, lowered temp to 152F with a small amount of room temp RO water. -5.20 sparge pH (I was not able to get a consistent, clear number for this. Not sure if it was just because of the RO or what.) -5.40/1.066 first runnings -5.54/1.032 second runnings. 5.84/1.016 final runnings. 5.45/1.039 pre-boil. *Added 13mL phos to BK at boil start. *Rechecked pH and added 8mL phos 55minutes into boil. 1.050 O.G., 5.19 post-boil. Straight forward brew day. Knocked out at 52F. Pitched a big yeast slurry from the last pils. Probably the best brew I've had since I got the new mashtun. Pulled very little grain material into the BK. Boiled over a good bit, which I think is partly to blame for my higher O.G. The ferm chamber is set to 50F. 2/11@1.010-1.011 kegged.
