Notes

This recipe is designed to make a double batch and I will only be fermenting 5.5 gallons for myself. 5.5 gallons to use WLP320 and four 1-gal batches to use various dry yeasts to compare results.

Strike water was at 164 and after adding grain the mash began at 158.

Excellent palate with strong citrus notes. Will definitely brew this again.
