Notes

Brewed on 4/23/2022 with Tanner Judd via BIAB Method.

Mash temp = 153 degrees F with 12 gallons.
SG = 8.2 Brix = 1.033 g/L
OG = 10 Brix = 1.040 g/L
FG for US-05 = 1.006 g/l
FG for BE-134 = 1.002 g/l

I split the 10 gallon batch in two and used Fermentis US-05 for a blonde ale and Fermentis BE-134 for a saison ale. I used the heating pad on the saison to keep the fermentation temp above 80 degrees but never above 85. The blonde ale fermented at room temp 68–75 degrees F.
