Ironically, another German Hef was produced yesterday.  I must say, I am needing to spend less and less time planning these things as I prety much know off the top of me head that 13# of grain at 1qt/lb will need the strike water to be 172 for a 151F mash.  Kind of sad I suppose.
  I shook it like crazy for a few minutes after getting it into the carboy.  I dont usually areate like this, even though it is generally recomended.  I pitched nealy a full qt of slury from the last Gh I made.  Hte lag time was nearly a day, but  now it is bubbling away nicely.  I wonder if the delay was partly due to the extra oxygen in the wort, pushing back the time when the yeast go from reproducing, to actually consuming. 
Hoping for a little drier finished product this time.  The last few like this were a bit sweet I thought.
