Notes

Using Hallertau mittelfruh, but recipe called for saphir dry hop
0.25 oz HM to dry hop

38 C tap water to start

OG: 1.065
FG: 1.030
ABV: 4.59%

Pitched at 78°F on 2/17/24
Kept bubbling, yeast kept working for 2 weeks!
Gravity stayed HIGH
Pitched too warm?
Finally moved to secondary on 3/4/24
Began dry hop with 0.25 oz Hallertau mittelfruh on 3/4/24
Sanitized muslin hop bag and dropped to bottom of secondary. (Should have weighted with pie weights.)
Filled secondary on top of dry hop bag
Bottled on 3/10/24, 4 carb tabs/bottle
Nice carbonation
Gravity staying high kept nice mouthfeel -- happy accident?
