Notes

Yeast: WLP500

  • 2L starter for 24 hours

    Fermentation Plan:
  • Pitch yeast at around 68 F
  • At 24 - 48 hours in the fermentation, add 8g of fermaid K
  • let it naturally rise to 72-75 during fermentation
  • until fermentation slows and FG is stable (7-10 days)

    Cold crash & keg
  • cold crash in keezer or fridge for ~ 2 weeks
  • Then leg and carbonate at 30psi for 24 hours, or taking the carbonation route of your choice.
