inner diameter is 13.5 inches, so \(\frac{231 \frac{in^3}{gal}}{143 {in}^2} = 1.62 \frac{in}{gal}\)
Using campden tablets to dechloriante.
Boiling full volume. Steeped grains on stove in small pot. Should have started heating rest of water at the same time.
This burner looks kinda weak. Might need a better one, more sturdy with legs to the support, for this amount of water and pot size. Also need a better scale, or calibrate this one.
Pre boil volume: 7 gal
Adding irish moss @ 15 mins
accidentally added fuggles @ 15 instead of 10
Using a whirlpool; cooling in laundry room. lots of hop in the bottom. sStill more liquid in fermenter than before. Need to do a test for volume marks on carboy. In addition to marks on new pot.
Forgot to record post-boil volume. 1.5 gal of trub left
Ferment
Fermenting in pantry, darker. Star san in bubbler.
OG 1.054
27 oct: swapping bubbler for blowtube. Foam all the way up.
based on carboy markers for brew#6, I estimate 4.5 - 4.75 gallons in fermenter.
8 nov: 1.020 may have gotten cold ~62 deg
9 nov: 1.019
12 nov: 1.019
Crash
Adding gelatin at time of moving to keg
1tsp per 2/3 C, pasteurized to 150 deg
cold crashing in keg 1 day before carbonating
not as much yeast cake as I often see.
Carb
Kegged about 4.25 gallons, I think
12 nov: Put in keg
20 nov: final result is not the best. Doesn’t taste much like an ipa. A bit sweet. Probably related to how far off the gravitys were.
