The rest of the day went just fine. After boiling for an hour my gravity was at 13 P and I cooled it off as usual. I oxygenated using a disposable tank for the first time. I then pitched my 1.5 L starter and she's off to the races. It was already bubbling this AM and is starting to get pretty vigorous. Temp is a little high at 78 F,
I did forget to write down things like final volume, volume left in the kettle, etc. I've just not previously cared much about these numbers. I mostly just boil until I hit my planned gravity and try to get as much into the fermentor as possible. It would be nice to know some of these to help calculate my evaporation rate.
I will most likely brew up an American wheat next week, so I'll have to see if I can remember to write down these numbers next time.
