Brew No.54 Rate: 2/10 ABV: 5.4% Yeast: Mangrove Jack's Cali Lager M54 Attenuation: 77-82% My attenuation: 68% Yeast aroma: Neutral Recommended IBU: 25 – 45 IBU achieved: 36 Ferment: 18-20ºC Recipe: N/A Achieved: OG: 1059 FG: 1018 ABV: 5.4% Notes: – Using Vienna this time – Added 100g Rice Hulls. 150g Torrified – Trying Mangrove Jacks M54 a lager yeast that has the ability to ferment at ale temperatures without the associated off flavours. Extended lagering periods are also not required. – 5kg grain takes 4C off mash water temp. Do again: No. WAY TOO SOUR. Don’t know why. Yeast?
