Brew day 3-4-23"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

So its been a while since I have brewed and man am I itching. Got the kitchen floor down so that is complete, and now time to brew up an Oktoberfest. Well sorta, I started to look at the ingredients and realized I was short on a few things so I decided to mix it up a bit and try and adapt to what I have on hand. Created a new recipe based off my Oktoberfest and let see how it comes it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night before I gathered the grains and milled them as I was collecting the water. I wasn’t able to collect it all before bed but got about 5.5 gallons worth and added in my salt, which was 4 grams of Calcium Chloride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning before heading off to the grocery store I started the Anvil at 152f(66.6C) and let the water heat up while I go to the store. When I got back was able to dough right in, temperature was at 149F(65C) and let it heat up while adding the grains to the 152F(66.6C). At 30 minutes into the mash I stopped the pump and gave the grain bed a good stir, not all the way down but pretty close. Started the pump back up and let the mash finish out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With about 10 minutes to the end of the mash I turned the Anvil up to 168F(75.5C) 100% to mash out. After about 10 minutes sitting at the 168F i pulled the grain basket and allowed the wort to drain out. After it stopped draining I tilted the basket and let it continue to drain out, with a bag squeeze near the end. Collected 6.5 gallons of wort at 1.041 SG. Cleaned up some equipment no longer needed while awaiting the boil. When the temperature got above 200F(93C) I pulled my 2 cups of hot break and awaited the boil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the boil started I added in the 1oz of Hallertau Mittlefruh. 15 minutes left in the boil I ended up adding in the wort chiller as when it got to 10 minutes had a few things to do so figured Id break it up a bit. Pulled a gravity sample of 1.044 SG, nailed what was expected with more wort then expected. After the boil, I quickly chilled it down and transferred into my fermentor while pumping air into the brew. Pitched two packs of 34\/70 and also added in my Tilt hydrometer so I have a better understanding on when to kick up fermentation temperature. Placed in the fermentation chamber at 72F(22C) and set to 56F(13C). It will cool down fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
