Notes:
  • Mash 152° for 60 minutes
  • Sparge at ~ 175°
  • 90 min boil
  • lower mash temp and thinner mash volume to help attenuation
  • 1/2 of this batch was dumped into the uncleaned keg of the Scrizzel Berliner Weiss, which has leftover brett dregs coating the keg
  • part of the reason was that it was during of a long day and frankly I didn't want to clean the keg, but also of course I was curious how much flavor the brett dregs would impart on the beer esp. after it had already from the berliner weiss
  • I carbonated that keg up for Adam's wedding
  • the second 1/2 is still sitting in the keg at the brewspace and I haven't even carbonated it yet, but will do so soon; no brett in that one
