9/21 4.95 sparge pH 133F=15' 144F=20' 157=20' 1.063/5.42 first runnings 1.010/6.00 final runnings*8mL phos on top of mash bed during last half of lauter 1.036/5.46 pre-boil*12mL phos added at boil start 5mL phos added at EOB 1.045/5.35 KO'd at 68F--used my 2-stage chill setup, and must have still run off too fast. Pitched yeast about 4 hours later around 57F. Ferment was a touch slow to start, had a good krausen within 48 hours after pitch. Took my sample at the of KO, so, wouldn't be surprised if my wort pH was a bit lower. Gravity was definitely a couple points lower than I would've guessed. 10/11@1.008. Will keg tomorrow and harvest yeast for dunkel.
