Tuesday June 16, 2020 I made my standard starter and placed it on the stir plate overnight.
Brew Procedure:
On Wednesday June 17, 2020, I brewed. Using http://www.biabcalculator.com/ I found I needed 7.11 gallons of water to add to the mash.
After mashing I transferred to the kettle and completed the brew using the following schedule:
Hops/Ingredients Schedule:
Quantity | Ingredient | Boiled For |
1 tsp. | Yeast Nutrient | Last 10 min of boil |
1.0 oz. | Galaxy | Last 10 min of boil |
1.0 oz. | Galaxy | Whirlpool |
1.0 oz. | Amarillo | Whirlpool |
1.0 oz.. | Citra | Whirlpool |
1.0 oz. | Comet | Whirlpool |
1.0 oz. | Amarillo | Dry Hop |
1.0 oz. | Citra | Dry Hop |
1.0 oz. | Comet | Dry Hop |
Notes:
- Hit pre boil volume almost exactly
- Overly aggressive boil so final volume into fermenter was like 4.8 gallons, which will come out to only around 4.5 gallons of beer.
- This can probably be remedied by doing a sparge with bag hanging over kettle and less aggressive boil.
- Need something to hang the bag from for next time to drain.
- Mash Temperature was high so I will need to lower my strike temp to 158°F next time
- Need some items for next brew
- Yeast Nutrient
- pH test strips
- Some kind of stainless steel weight for dry hopping
- Dry Malt Extract
- Graduated Cylinder for testing FG
