11/8 4.76 HLT 134F 15' 150F 40' 5.33/1.065 first 5.39 second 5.65/1.014 final 5.36/1.045 pre 5mL H3PO4 30' into boil 5mL H3PO4@EOB 1.056 O.G., 5.18 post, KO@66F Pitched 800mL Bayern Set controller to 58F Pre-boil gravity came in shy, so I bumped up the boil time to 90'. Should've still missed the gravity by a couple points, but it looks like I boiled a bit too hard and lost a bit of volume. Yeast was harvested just a couple hours before and ready to go--beer was blowing off about 6 hours after KO. This morning (11/9) set controller to 64F. 11/13@1.012@66F. Pretty yeasty, but showing promise. Will recheck the gravity once the krausen drops. 11/16@1.009. Flavor is sharpening up a bit. Will keg with dry hops 11/18. 12/3. Straw colored, excellent clarity, white foam. Great lacing. Clean citrus and pine sap aromas. Medium-light body, resinous hops throughout. Clean crisp finish. Pretty darn tasty. Replacing Crystal hops with something punchy would be nice, Simcoe would be my first choice. Though there's a restrained herbal quality the crystal brings that I think is nice in the beer. Needs a bigger dry hop or late hop or both.
