Notes

11-1-20 - notes from the last brew. Yeast was a TOTAL fail. I reued my Wy2565. First one, I pitched without a starter. Should be fine... wasn't. Nada. Second, I pitch some with Shaken-not-stirred, and I got a little. Not sure what I did then, but ultimately got down to 1.20 and that was it. TOOOO sweet, bleah.
Lesson: Create a starter.


Pitch at 60 degrees
Leave it there for 1.5 weeks then rise to 65 or 68 for a day or 2 then cold crash and gelatin.
Closed transfer to keg.
2.6 volumes.
