Water was RO with 7g Gypsum and 2g CaCl2. This was also the first use of the new mash-tun, after the issues with the stuck sparge from last brew. The new mash-tun is a Lowes Igloo 10g drink cooler with a LauterHelix 1000. I found a PVC water grade ball valve and a 1/2" NPT nipple to complete the tun on a budget. 

5/26/18: Brewday went extremely smooth and fun. 

Collected 3.8gal in the fermenter at 1070, high enough I added 1.5L of water as well to the fermenter (no gravity measurement after that). Used US05 which I made a 600mL starter.

6/7: Dryhopped with 1oz Simcoe, Columbus, and Galaxy (I think).

6/10: Put in secondary to clear up
6/17: 2.5 gal keg + bottled 1.7 gal (TC IPA)
