Brewing Steps:
Brewed in Red Mash Tun
- Heated 3.4 gallons of water to a strike temperature of approximately 166 degrees
- Target mash temperature 152; volume at 1.25 quarts/pound
- Used Sparge Pal app for volume calculations
- Added water to mash tun first (water, then grains)
- Both volume and temperature seemed low, so added another 1 qt
- Mashed 60 minutes
- Did not stir
- After 60 minutes lautered into bucket (to measure volume)
- Lautered over about 7 minutes
- Heated 4.9 (about) gallons of sparge water to approximately 175 degrees and added to mash tun
- Let sit for 10 minutes, then lautered until there was nothing left in the mash tun
- Likely a little under on our volume
- Boiled for 60 minutes
- Kept fairly vigorous boil going
- Added hops
- Chilled
- Pitched yeast and aerated wort
- Pitched yeast from starter
- Poured into fermenting bucket
Notes:
-May have messed volumes yet a little bit with not taking out enough water/taking out too much d/t red tun vs. mixing up this recipe with the other one made today
-Final volume in fermenter seemed to be right about 5 gallons, but once trub is accounted for final volume likely going to be 4.25 - 4.5 g
----Low volume like responsible for higher OG than estimated
