Willy de Witte III Brew Session

Brew Session Info

9/2/2015
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Started at 9:00. Could have added extra malts, easily 200 gram. Full conversion occured 35 minutes into alpha, at 80 minutes of mashing. Left it to go the full 75 to see if that helps with foam. 30 beta / 60 alpha next time. Filter got clogged, either because i didnt use Ultramoss, had stuff in there from the marmelade, or both. Wort is tasty and smells of honey. Beer tastes likes banana foam candy in weizen at start of bottling, and not in a bad way :-).

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 13.00 gallonsliters at 1.058 for 120 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 2.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.067.

You wanted an OG of 1.075. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

First tasting after 4 days: great, good foam and foam stability. Needs more time, hope the good taste will not mellow out too much.
