2/6/15
Made a started w/ washed US-05. Didn't get much activity from the starter but by the time I pitched into the wort it was picking up a bit. 


Brew Day 2/8/15
Prepped a starter from some washed yeast the day before the brewday. By the time I started heating the strike water the starter was slowly fermenting.

Actual mash temp was 152F.


Got about 4.5 gallons pre-boil at 1.066 gravity. Boiled for 95 minutes.

Cooling went slowly because my stupid submersible pump thought there was an electrical fault, so I used the ice-bath method.

Oxygenated with my new oxygenation wand. Cool!

Pitched when the wort was at 65F at around 3:30pm.

2/9/15, 1pm. No signs of activity yet. 63F ambient.
