Okay. Got the wort in two cornys. I could only chill to about 90 before I hit equilibrium with my ground water. Well, not really, but it was close and would have taken forever to come down to pitching temps. I didn't add any of the sugars to the boil as I plan on feeding the beer over time. So I'll do the candi sugar in about four days and the dextrose another few days after that. Figure I'll give the yeasties a chance to eat the maltose before the "candi".
I'd read that was advisable for these high grav brews (and just heard it on BrewStrong the other day). My LHBS guy also recommended that. Did any of you do that with your brews?
Even without the sugars, my OG was 1.053 corrected for temp, which comes in at 70% efficiency according to brew target. Once I get the candi and dex in there, it'll have a cumulative gravity of 1.066. I could add another half pound of dex if I really want to hit 1.069. We'll see how it goes.
