Notes: Brewing notes:
Used about 38g of Willamette original recipe is Kent Goldings.
Nice dark red colour in the wort.
Got 1.057 at 14L and ended up with OG: 1.06.
Pitched at 22c.
Day 1:
Ended up running hot as on day 1.
Left in a cool room it was 22 for most of day without heat or blanket.
Day 2: Fermenting at 20, krausen might have fallen.
Day 3: Slowed considerably, krausen gone and its at 1.028.
If the mash was 70c -> FG 1.018
72c -> 1.022 which is still ok but getting sweet. Should be at most 1.018 for this style. Recipe says it should be 1.015.
Perhaps it best to keep temps rising and start low with US04.
