Notes

didn't achieve ideal mash ph. wanted 5.4, added lactic to mash water prior to grains, and after 10 mins of mash ph of 5.51 was read. I added 2 additional mL with some wort and did not recheck lol.

sg: 1.062, overshot that one lol

pitched with a proper starter made 23 hrs prior on stir plate

temp 64-75, I want more clove than banana, going to try to maintain on the lower end.

initial wort is very very dark, will see what happens with fermentation and gelatin/cold crash.
