Preheated cooler with warm water. Dough-in with 6 gallons of 165F water. 60min Mash. Mash in @ 150-152F. 148-150F @ 30min. 147F @ 60min. 5 gallon batch sparge @ 174F. Slowly drained wort while sparging with Vorlauf. Pressed grain to release wort. 8 gallons preboil. 90min boil. 6gal post boil. Pitched @ 78F.
For this batch, I brewed with Tim & we combined wort before boiling. We mashed separately, x-ferred some wort to my batch when sparging, then combined wort pre-boil, split wort half and boiled from there. Tim highly hopped his version. Side-by-side tasting eagerly anticipated & imminent.
