Notes

Mass dilution.
Added grain to mash tun then added
10 gal water at 168
Mash temp seemed to go down to 132F
Took a while for it to get to 150.
Need to investigate mash temp probe.
Going to boil for 10 gal batch and dilute when going into carboys with previously boiled water.
Aiming for:
Boil size: 10.8Gal
Pre boil OG: 1089
OG: 1094
Something wrong
OG: 1074
Vol: 4gal
Ok. Split batch and diluted to 8gal.
OG (9 hours after pitch): 1045
Dry hopped one carboy with 1 oz palisade

Tasting notes:
Good. Kinda watery. Maybe cuz of the dilution.
Interesting taste. No complaints.
