  • Time: 90 mins
  • End temp: 146F
  • End pH: 5.3

Sparge

  • 14.5 qt, target: 170F
  • For some reason, the mash jammed. Suspect false bottom problem. Had to transfer mash into brew kettle, fix the false bottom, and transfer back before starting the sparge. Probably resulted in lost sugars, mash cooled more than it should.
  • Overshot sparge water temp, started anyway at 178F. Mash was probably colder than usual due to the emergency transfer.
