Comments:
Fureulic Acid rest (~44C - 115F)
Heat to starchification rest (68C) << Need to go higher to limit attenuation. Brew day was challenging as expected ... didn't quite hit they gravity ... burnt the mash while doing the step up, put 20gms more hops in then expected ... all in all a good day

Added 7ml of liquid emzymes + 200gms of sugar, and 1/3rd of the yeast cake of one of the batches. Also blended it with 1/2 of the 3068 batch that Matt was brewing. Also bumped the temp up to 22C Already a mini krausen is present. |
