Notes

Brewed via BIAB Method on 12/12/2021 with Connor Cox.
Mash temp = 8 gallons of 152 degrees F for 60 minutes (strike = 155 degrees F).

Starting gravity = 1.021 g/L (vol. = 7.75 gals) with no syrup
OG = 1.054 g/L (vol. = 6.00 gals) with syrup.
FG = 1.012 g/L via refractometer correction.

Put in cool garage to ferment. On day 1 yeast was fermenting at 58-60 degrees F, on day two the temp was 66 degrees F, on day three the temp was 68-70 with a slight hint of Sulfur, but not harsh (very lager-ish).

On Thursday December 30th, 2021 the beer was kegged with no gelatin.
