Below are my notes
(6:07pm) Strike calls for 4.6 qt=1 gal + 2.44 cups. Strike with 1 gal 2.5 cups
Aim for 164°F for a 152°F mash
(6:28) Mashed in. Stabilized at 154. Need to adjust calibration. Hold for 15-20min
t-45min, 152°F. Hold 10min
t-35min, 148°F. Heat 3/10 to 155°F
t-16, T=152 Hold 6. I don;t think this will hold to the end
Started heating sparge. 4.1qt=1gal 0.4 cups. Do 1gal+1/3 cup b/c of extra before
t-8min, ~145 (_Why such a drop? Too early of a measure before at 16?)._Heat 3/10
t-3min, Still heating. Will just bring to mash-out now.
First runnings - Not cool runnings (thanks Wes!) 4qt (7:48)
Adjust bittering hop: Note that the recipe in the book calls for Horizon. We used Magnum. Anyway: 0.15oz*15%AA (recipe)/14.6 %AA(actual)==0.154oz (so keep at 0.15oz)
4 qts second running_plus_ 1.5 cups left. Total of 8 qts (non-temp adjusted) in boil kettle
SG 1.051 @80F (cooled with mini-ice bath) == 1.053.
Brewer's Friend says 87% pre-kettle efficiency (but that does not temp-adjust the volume)
Other hop adjustments (both 10 and 0 min require the same). Cascade: 0.13oz6%AA(recipe)/7.3%AA(actual) ==> 0.106 oz. Centennial: 0.13oz 10%AA(recipe)/8.7 %AA(actual) ==> 0.149oz ~=0.15 oz
Realized we used distilled water by accident for sparge. Oops!
(~8:18 or so, boil started. Didn't note it but I noted when it went to the ice)
Missed 10 min addition. Added at 7min. We'll add 1min 30 seconds to boil. Shouldn't matter too much
(9:15) yeast in boiled H20 cooled to 100°F
(9:19) BK into ice
Time/Temps: 9:30/98F (no more steam - lid on). 9:38/76F. Pull it
9:34 Stirred yeast
OG: 1.071@~72 == 1.072
9:47 pitched.
The yeast didn not really foam up like I would have expected and it has in the past. It should be fine, but I will check it tomorrow to see for activity. I can always run out and buy another pack to pict tomorrow
14.6cm -->1.37 gal = 5.49 qts.
Brewer's Friend says 81% Brew House Efficiency
Short brew day. Cool!
Just to note, we bottled the Old Warmer (beer 5) while this was happening
Also note, the yeast was half a packet, stored in the fridge, from brew 006 (Sour Scotch). That may have had an affect.
very, very little activity. SeeVIDEO. I think I am going to repitch
...
Bought new yeast packet. Opened fermenter. There was a slight krausen but not much. It may have been fine but I decided to give it a shot. I opened the new packet (spilled a little all over the place too), added it, put the lid on, and gave it a slight shake to agitate it and get it down
For all I know, it will now ferment but it will be oxidized. I guess only time will tell[

I placed the bucket into the fridge on 2013-11-17 after I bottled the Sour Scotch Ale (#6). So it had about 3 days of cold crashing. Below are my notes
I'm curious about the volumes before racking:
Racked
FG 1.020 @ about 40-45 ( Later decided it was 43 from the strip on the bottling bucket)
12.3cm --> 1.12 gal (11.9 bottles so use 11 and be be sure)
Calibrated, that is FG: 1.019 with an ABV of 6.96% and an attenuation of 73.6%
Aiming for 2.4 vol (using 70F as the temp) which comes to 0.95 oz corn sugar
Still used 1/2 cup water. Used tap water since it will be boiled anyway and isn't much
I bottled it which went well. I had almost another full beer which I just drank. I do recognize that it has extra sugar from the priming sugar but it was way too sweet. Probably from overshooting the efficiency by such large numbers making it too sweet. Had I known the OG was so high before racking it, I would have considered adding some sugar to try to bring it down. I really need to start updating my recipes for the higher efficiency. Or, go full BIAB and let the lack of sparge be the reason for the lower efficiency.
2013-12-07 Note: 3 weeks will be 2012-12-11 but may need morebecause of temp and cold-crash leaving less yeast
