Texas Toast 5 Brew Session

Brew Session Info

2/13/2023
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Mashed at 157 to have more body. Yeast Best By date was Feb, 05, 2023, some concern about performance. Lag time to active fermentation was 54 hrs, vs. normal 36 hr lag for WLP-023. Final gravity a bit higher than I wanted.

Based on boiling 6.70 gallonsliters at 1.038 for 45 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.75 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.042.

You wanted an OG of 1.043. It looks like it will be under.
