Notes

FERMENTATION:
Start at 68 raise over 4 days to 73 hold at 73 for 10 days.
As Primary slows down, add 1/2 the belgian candi sugar.

2L stepped up to 3L starter

I calculated the entire amount of Candi sugar under fermentables just for the recipe design. Once I actually am ready to brew, I will remove 1/2 of the sugar to make my gravities line up correctly (i.e. preboil, post boil)
