tanager ESB Brew Session

1/9 4.80 HLT 152F mash 5.20/1.079 first 5.37 second 5.71/1.008 final 5.28/1.045 pre 1.049 O.G., 5.18 post KO'D@68F-ish Simple brew, but a bit helter skelter in the new house. Exceptionally windy yesterday, and boiling outside--real difficult to dial in the boil rate, finished the last ten minutes on the stovetop. As such, boil off was a little low, and likely would've hit 1.051 OG. Set controller to 69F, and was bubbling away this morning (1/10). 1/15@1.010@71F 1/17@1.010 1/18 kegged with dry hops Deep golden, copper leaning color, with off white foam, and good clarity. Berries and herbal hop aromas. Subtle sugary sweet meringue, with lemon zest grated on top. A no-sugar-added strawberry jam lava flow inches on beneath a swift current of fine bitterness, holding it all together.
