Notes

Double batch. Diluting to 24 gal.

Water balanced to
Ca: 54, Mg: 10, Na: 19, Cl: 75, SO4: 74

Mashed with 12 gal instead of 13.

Set HLT to 160. Mashed in and set HLT to 152. Pretty much perfect.

Ph Mash: 5.4-5.5
Water PH: 7.5

No mash adjustment done.


Ended up using 3 oz hallertau 2011 ?AA and 3 oz hallertau 2012 5.6%AA


K, so massive boil over. Lost a lot. 
Ended up with 15g at 1054. Before boil.
Only used 4 oz of hops. Rest was wet and garbage.


Going to dilute with 4 extra gal to get 3 kegs.


Ended up diluting with enough water to get 1048 some how. Weird. 


So, probably diluted with an extra 5-6 gal and ended up with about 

18 gal in the carboys. All good considering.

I'm curious about my efficiency. Might have been pretty high.


Took about 48 hours to show any good sign of fermentation. 

After the morning of the third day it had a heathy crosen.(sp?)
