About to brew my 15th beer in a year. What a ride!!! I have brewed only my creations using other recipes as a guide. Some have gone great....then i had to dump last two. 1st one was crazy bitter, believe human error as my mash temp was wrong and started in the high 160’s, took forever to get down to 153....assuming that was the problem. Then yesterday i was transferring tonkeg, and forgot to pull off blowoff tube, sucked up 1/2 gallon of dirty star-san so dumped it. Really want to make sure I get this one as i feel deflated a bit. Thoughts on recipe
6gallons into fermenter
Mash(grist 1.875 ratio) 7.5 gallon mash, sparge with 2 gallons
I have a false bottom with 2 gallons below, so need a higher water volume) I recirculate every 5 mins or so but draining into a pitcher and pouring over the grain bed)

1#Acidulated
