WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

OG 1.062.
7/2/19 - Fermentation / taste check. Refrac reading of 1.028/7.1ºP, which corresponds to a corrected FG of 1.009.
ABV = 7.0%, AA = 85%.
Taste has a prominent smoky/leathery phenolic, which leads me to believe Brett is dominating right now. Not sure where the lacto is - very little tartness.
Will taste again soon. If no tartness, may have to get creative - add sugar + lacto, etc.

11/15/19 - Sample/check. Refrac reading of 6.5/1.026, or an FG of 1.005. Hydrometer showed 1.007, but it's reading high right now. Taste is still brett-heavy, but some sour is starting to poke through. Not sure what I think of this yeast.
