Notes

==========================
4/26/2025
post brew day adjustments.

came up short on efficiency and OG. could have been the pH miscalculation I hope that is the case and that the pH doesn't cause a taste able issue

did not have planned amount of warrior. had only 0.3 oz planned 0.5

also did not add whirlfloc until the whirlpool

==========================
4/23/2025

I added the water additions into this recipe after I'd mashed in with the acid malt so the pH on this beer is really low eek. 4.4 atm

==========================

initial recipe creation

need water chemistry

modified from byo recipe
https://byo.com/recipe/russian-river-brewing-co-s-pliny-the-elder-clone/

kind of rounded things off and reduced some bittering hops because they seemed way too high
