Notes

Build starter up to lager pitching rates (1.5). Decanted second starter and added 300ml of brewed wort, showing activity within hours. Add servomyces to primary and pitched active starter on 07.08.15 - vigorous fermentation started within 8 hours.

Cherry pie esters from Brett L. with (hopefully ) some acetic acid. Additional red fruity complexity from crystal and roasted malts.

Potential for aging half batch on sour cherries for 1-2 months.

Tested 23.08.15 - lacking cherry fruit flavors - possibly due to over-pitching. 1.012 and ph 4.58

Added 350ml of tart cherry juice.

Bottled on 2nd Jan 2016 1.008
