Mash:
12qt@[172F => 154F] for 70min** Recalibrated therm, actual mash temp 158F, initial water probably 176F Rough Calc Efficiency: ~80%, not too bad Sparge: - 16qt@170F w/10min rest - collected ~6gal wort Boil: 1hr follow hop schedule. No water added post boil, final volume is what it is Ferment: pitched around 1:30p. Activity started almost immediately, very vigorous after a few hours

note:
9am: vigorous ferment is largely over. Instead of constant stream of CO2 its down to a bubble every 3-5s. Possibly the fastest ferment I've had.
Due to high etoh acclimated yeast moved from cold to warm? This yeast was used to ferment a 1.060 altbier at ~50F, then moved to this porter ~68F. Also used entire yeast cake (3x my normal pitch). Should have high ester, may need time to age out fusels?

note:
Racked to 2ndary. Volume low to fill up 5g carboy but expected that.
Taste is bitter, dried fruit?, dryish finish, low etoh bite for 5.7%abv

note:
hop seeds floating on top are potentially growing mold - hard to tell. not excited to put mold into a keg.
Taste: still etoh, slight bitter aftertaste, baseball glove?, dried dark fruit, no real off taste from mold if present. Need to hang out with bjcp judges, this taste is totally different but i can't quantify it.

note:
drank multiple times by multiple people with no report of off taste. If mold was present it was at least neutral, starting to doubt my eyes tho. The mold that grew on the mulberry wheat was undeniable so I'm thinking they were just deceiving bubbles.
