Notes
6/23/2020 - Brew Day - Mash was a bit warm to start, so I added ice to get it down to 148. Also noticed a bit of iodine aroma after I cleaned and sanitized the cooler the last time I used it. I will keep an eye on this batch in case that makes it way into post-fermentation off-flavors like a phenol or plastic note. Otherwise, brew day went as expected. Added Super Moss at 15 minutes along with yeast nutrient. Chilled to 72 degrees and pitched US-05 and put in the basement to ferment cooler.
6/25/2020 - Noticed that there wasn't any activity on this batch, so I popped the lid and took a gravity reading. No change from brew day, so I pitched another pack of US-05 and mixed with the mix-n-stir. Sample tasted like fresh wort, so hopefully the lag won't cause issues in the finished beer. I did notice that the first pack I pitched was a little older, but still had a use by date of 10/2020.
