New Hanna pHep 5 meter was calibrated prior to brew day and read 7.3 for our tap water. Strike water was heated to ~180 F and added to crushed grains in mash tun (not pre-heated). After stirring in, the pH was checked and was 5.2 (at mash temp). Gypsum was added to boost the Ca in the mash (and the SO4 for crisper bitterness in the boil). After adding 1 gm of gypsum per gallon of water, the pH only dropped to 5.16 (at mash temp). The mash temp was a little high (~158 F) so 2 cups of filtered tap water was added and stirred in to bring the rest temperature to ~153 F. Mashed for 60 minutes in Igloo cooler wrapped in blanket. A few degrees were lost during the mash. The mash out water was boiled and added to the mash tun to bring the mash to ~166 F. After vorlauf, first runnings were collected in the brew kettle along with first wort hop addition. ~3.5 gallons of sparge water was heated to ~175 F and added to the grains (this water was also ammended with gypsum at 1 gm per gallon). After a thorough stirring, the mash was at ~166 F. After another vorlauf, second runnings were collected. A total of 7.25 gallons of wort with SG = 1.052 @ 60 F was collected and brought to a boil.

With wort chilled to 56 F (yeast pitched at 58 F), fermentation was sluggish. It took ~24 hours before any noticeable activity began. However, within ~6 hours from then, fermentation was going full speed. Initially, the fermentation temperature was set to 60 F but when no activity was occuring after 24 hours, the temperature was raised to 62 F (with 2 degree differential). After one week (20080927), the fermentation was crawling along and the SG = 1.022. So, the temperature was raised to ~69 F in hopes of encouraging the yeast to finish fermentation. SG was checked on 20081002 and had only dropped to 1.020. It seems clear that this beer will finish high
|
|
Tasted on 20081002 and had a nice clean bitterness with a decent amount of residual sweetness to make for a nice balance. The dry hop will definitely round out the flavor.
