Bumped up the recipe by 25 percent because last time i ended up with a 4 gallon batch. I batched sparged and ended up with a OG of 1.067. Im not sure how my attenuation is gonna come out but hopefully i hit close to 80 percent.
I love this beer.
I didnt use rice hulls and it turned out fine. It is a bit cloudy but i only used a primary fermentation and didnt transfer it to secondary prior to bottling.
I brewed this over the weekend and because of my low effeciency in some previous beers i did a 90 mash and a 15 minute sparge i ended up with a 1.066 gravity. Hopefully i have some happy yeast and get a bigger beer then i hoped for.
Ended up with a final gravity of 1.015. Not the ABV or effeciency i wanted to oh well. Time to bottle and wait a week to see what i got. Everyone else keep me posted.
Ive read a couple of posts that said a couple of weeks in primary and only went to secondary to take care of sediment and clarification and that the actual fermentation was complete. I'll check it in two weeks and see.
I do know that I havent seen a beer churn like this in primary before...
Im bummed that when i went to mash water calculater it told me to used 10.20 gallons and i ended up with only 4 gallons of beer when it was all said and done. Apparently there was alot more grain absorption then calculated. Oh well. A day later and fermentation is off the charts. Its churning...
