| Method: | All Grain |
Repeat of Batch 88, an attempt to make something like Schell's Firebrick. This recipe uses 20% less hops and the fermentation should be about 10F cooler. |
No krausen, but positive pressure in the carboy at 12 hours, 62F indicated. Day 3, still indicating 62F, room at 59F. Day 6, transfer to secondary - some activity observed. Day 22, transfer to keg, final gravity 8.2B (down from 15.0)
Next time: Bump the strike temperature to 168F from 166F. Sparge with 0.5 gallons less, bringing the second addition down to 2 gallons (unless growth media is required). Shorten boil to 60 minutes. Consider lowering the grain bill to get closer to 1.052. |
