Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

no sparge, BIAB, propane. CLT water thru white hose. Used electric keggle, march pump and counterflow chiller. placed in 65F keezer. Not thrilled with the sodium taste imparted by either the BWS or the 5.2. I don't think I'll use either again. Maybe my pH meter was off...

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.75 gallonsliters at 1.038 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.043.

You wanted an OG of 1.052. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (1)

Tasted on 10/11/2016 by MicahEpps

Notes:

Racked to secondary on Tues 11 Oct. Very thin krausen ring. Thick flocculant yeast bed (S-05). Only lost maybe 2 fl oz of liquid. Gravity was 1.020 to 1.022. Taste- malt forward. Rather thick bodied. Hop bitterness was barely present. Could probably go with 33 to 50% more next iteration. Mainly bread and caramel notes.
