12/4/2020 6:07 PM over 5 years ago	-3	Yeast Starter	1.040	1 Liter		68 °F	12/4/2020 6:07 PM over 5 years ago	Made a 1 liter yeast starter. Will save 500ML and pitch the other 500ML.
12/6/2020 11:44 PM over 5 years ago	-1	Mash Complete	1.038	4.45 Gallons	5.3	152 °F	12/7/2020 12:34 AM over 5 years ago	Mash went smooth. Had to add another 1ml of lactic acid to bring it from 5.5 down to 5.3 ph.
12/7/2020 12:58 AM over 5 years ago	+0	Pre-Boil Gravity	1.040	4.25 Gallons		170 °F	12/7/2020 12:58 AM over 5 years ago	Efficiency was a little lower than expected. Could be the coarser crush, or just from using wheat grain as I tend to get less efficiency from wheat.
12/7/2020 2:32 AM over 5 years ago	+0	Boil Complete	1.045	3.75 Gallons		68 °F	12/7/2020 2:32 AM over 5 years ago	Boil complete with normal additions as per recipe.
12/7/2020 2:54 AM over 5 years ago	+0	Brew Day Complete	1.045	3.25 Gallons		68 °F	12/7/2020 2:54 AM over 5 years ago	Brewday went great. Efficiency was a little lower than expected. Might be because of the coarser grind I am doing on the grain or the wheat.
12/8/2020 1:11 AM over 5 years ago	+1	Other				69 °F	12/8/2020 1:11 AM over 5 years ago	Fermentation is underway. Bumped temp to 69.
12/9/2020 5:03 AM over 5 years ago	+2	Other				70 °F	12/9/2020 5:03 AM over 5 years ago	Bumped temp to 70. Active seems to have died down for the most part already.
12/10/2020 4:30 PM over 5 years ago	+3	Other				71 °F	12/10/2020 11:00 PM over 5 years ago	Forgot to bump temp up 1 degree yesterday.
12/11/2020 2:44 AM over 5 years ago	+4	Other				72 °F	12/11/2020 2:44 AM over 5 years ago	Bumped temp to 72. Fermentation activity is done.

12/23/2020 9:51 PM over 5 years ago	+16	Packaged	1.011	3 Gallons			12/23/2020 9:51 PM over 5 years ago	Close transfer to serving keg. Smells great with the coriander in there. The taste is pretty light though, with not much going on. Has a minty/citrusy tingly finish though. Maybe the fresh coriander is cutting through the body of the beer?
