Notes

Fermented very steadily at 55℉ for a full week, moved to secondary after 7days, and allowed a diacetyl rest at 65℉ for 4-5 days.

At day 14 added gelatine/water mixture : 1/2tsp w/ 1 cup of pre-boiled water cooled to 150℉ for mixing w/ gelatine. Then dropped temperature to 35-38℉ for 7-days.

Day 21, kegged.

Beer looked very clear on kegging day, and the following day took samples for tasting....Actually, a couple of samples for tasting...LOL. Not fully carb-ed up, but oh so good very smooth crisp slight sweetness. The amber/copper color of this beer is just beautiful. I'm very happy.
