Notes

Started mash with schijndel tap water. Saving 10.5 l of spa for sparging.
Laatste meting van de refractometer voor het stoppen van het lauteren was 4 brix (1.016 sg). 200 ml gemorst uit brouwketel doordat de kraan nog open stond. Koelen gedaan door water tegen de brouwketel te laten stromen. Pa gaat het koelelement aanpassen zodat, als ie lekt dat het niet in deze hogere brouwketel gaat lekken.
Pa heeft nog een hele tijd meegeholpen met slangen in elkaar draaien en op te passen.
Sparging with 81c water. Ongeveer 16 liter over na 2 uur koken.
Almost forgot Irish Mosh so gave another 10m boil.
Vergeten de deksel uit de mash tun te halen dus al het sparge water is slechts langs de zijkant gegaan vandaar het lage redement.
Wyeast didn't take off within 24 hours which was the reason I added the powder yeast to the starter of 700ml. Vigorous bubbling for at least an hour.
Fermentation start also bubbled for an hour. Started to take off at nite (< 5 hrs) and was vigorous enough to wawke Carin. The bubbling was all over within 36 hrs. Understandable considering hi temp of 26-28 with lots of variation. Left in primary for 9 days.
