Notes
  • Kettle soured with Omega Lacto blend till pH reached 3.2 then continued with boil phase as normal.
  • Gravity Reading taken on 8/6/19 = 1.012
  • Racked to 8lbs of Maine Blueberries under CO2 into a fresh carboy and rested for 10 days.
  • Dry "hopped" with 8 opal basil flower cones that had been dried at room temp for a few days. Strong aroma in the flower cones.
  • Flower cones in the keg for 3 days = no real aroma or taste of basil
  • Kegged at 30psi for 3 days at 35F and left the flowers in.
  • 8-21-19 added a full stalk of fresh opal basil directly to the keg and re-sealed and gassed the keg. Hoping that will give me some additional basil flavor/aroma. Note - fresh basil was soaked in a StarSan wash for a couple minutes before adding.
  • After a few more days, the basil aroma and flavor really came through.
