Pitched full amount of yeast starter on top of 2.7 ga wort. About .25 ga of 1.036 starter wort.
At 67 deg. Added to swamp cooler with aquarium heater at 67.
Girls spilled the sample before I could taste it. No idea how bitter. |

Keeping aquarium heater stable is weird. Tough. Water will settle at 64-65 if no help. Heater seems to not do so well at 65-68 deg settings.
Pitched at 2pm.
Light Bubbling on airlock at +5 hours. |

Sunday morning. Still bubbling every 30 sec.
Added 1/2 the dry hops.
Gamma seal lid was very difficult to take off as foam had made its way up into the screw threads. And dried up. Need to keep in mind this lid removes about 1.5 in of the head space |

Tastes delicious. All citrus. Distinct bitterness but not overwhelming or biting. Very smooth. Great aroma. |

2.1 oz sugar to 2.5 vol target.
Did not cold crash so hops were transferred and clogged wand. More bubbles through wand than used to. |

Tastes great. Citra still shines not sure if simple comes through or not. Not enough bittering and could be little dryer.
Maybe my favorite beer yet and love the malt profile. Fully carbed. Hope it doesn't carb any more. |

Kolanowski says it was good. Little over carbed though. |
