Cleaning finish time  : 

All ingredients several years old. Closet-emptying brew.

Beta-glucan rest for 20 minutes at 42C to reduce rye stickiness.
Used tons of rice hulls.
Started with a layer of rice hulls, then grain, then a layer of hulls, then rest of grain.
Rinsed grain dust from bucket with ~1L water, added to mash, Used 1L less sparge water.

1.5 tsp protofloc + 0.5 tsp yeast nutrient (whoops, measured backwards!!) @ 10 mins
One stick “äkta kanel” tossed in hop basket at flameout.

Brewday Analysis:

Why is the volume of crushed grain (16L) lower than the last beer despite a lot more grain by weight?
Accidentally left heat running during beta-glucan rest mash-in. Temp a bit too high.

Calculated Recipe Adjustments:

Real grain absorption:
Real efficiency:
