Sparged at 172F so that there is always 1inch of wort above the grain bed. Lautering should happen at 1qt/min.
Brewed on 1/29/17
Lautering went OK, definitely need to work on this. Did a nice, slow sparge, not sure of the flowrate. Got a decent amount of grains to come through though, very hard to keep an inch of wort above grain at all times. Sent the collected wort in kettle through a screen to remove excess grains. Got a slightly stuck sparge as well, might consider adding some rice hulls next time.
Brewing Notes
Target Strike Temp: 161.7F
Actual Strike Temp: 165.5F
Target Mash Temp: 152F
Measured Mash Temp: 152F
Mash Temp after 30 mins: 151.7F
Mash Temp after 60 mins: 148F
Preboil OG at 190F : 1.032
OG : 1.076 (Very rough estimate, lots of foam so made it hard to read range was 1.074-1.078, different from target OG due to lactose addition which supposedly adds 42ppg
FG : 1.022
Numbers above correspond approximately with 80% efficiency as seen by calculations on right.
Dear lord, this beer, prior to carbonation and racking to secondary (dry hop addition) is delicious. Something I have never tasted before. It is sweet, very mildly malty, light in color and relatively average in body (although I added oats and lactose to increase mouthfeel). Crisp, light and floral to the nose. Definitely does not smell like an average, bitter IPA or double. The Mosaics are just packed with flavor and highlight, but do not over power the light, sweet malty flavor. This is a perfect base beer for future additions of vanilla beans, fruit, etc.
