General Information

Method:	All Grain

Method:

All Grain

8/9/11 - Bought 18 gallons of RO water and added salts to get to desired profile.

8/10/11 - Mashed in at 150 and let the temperature drop to 140 over 3 hours. PH measured with test strips seemed to register around 4.9 but I think this was wrong.

Brewed main wort with 15 gallons pre-boil using ferm-cap to control boil overs.

Split the wort between two yeasts:

8.5 gallons - 3711 French Saison
5 gallons - 2124 Bavarian Lager

My preboil gravity reading was 11 brix (1.044) but post boil it read 10, so I did something wrong.

I'm estimating the OG at 1.048 based on evaporation.

Pitched yeast at 64 and let naturally rise to 81 over the course of 4 days.
