kashama IPA Brew Session

3/29 154-155F mash temp 4.96 sparge pH 5.37/1.081 first runnings 5.53/1.043 second runnings 6.02/1.012 final runnings 5.44/1.047 pre-boil*added 9mL phos to BK 1.057 O.G./5.26 post-boil. Smooth and easy brew. I probably need to go back to manually adding sparge water to the mashtun, or find a solution to the mixing problem I'm having with sparge liquor. There's no way my final runnings should've been as high as they were, given the HLT pH. 4/27. Tapped a week ago. Golden hued, with a light haze, sticky white foam. Peach, mango, lemony aromas. Smooth upfront, leading into the bitterness, and light minerality. More of the sweet stone fruit hop flavor on the palate. Finishes with a dry, resinous hop finish. I probably should've omitted the caramalt form the recipe. It's a hair distracting from the hops, but plays up their perceived sweetness.
