3/29/2020 6:41 PM over 4 years ago	+0	Boil Complete	1.053	3 Gallons	5.3		3/29/2020 8:23 PM over 4 years ago	Boil complete. Wort is dropping very clear. Whirlpool temps went down to 165 then back up to 175, but on average 170...
3/29/2020 8:23 PM over 4 years ago	+0	Brew Day Complete	1.053	3 Gallons	5.3	55 °F	3/29/2020 8:41 PM over 4 years ago	Cooled to 55 then pitched yeast. Set ferm chamber to 50.
4/3/2020 5:34 PM over 4 years ago	+5	Diacetyl Rest		3 Gallons		65 °F	4/3/2020 5:35 PM over 4 years ago	Fermentation seems to be slowing a bit. Bumping up temp for diacetly rest. Will leave at this temp until fermentaion activity seems to have stopped.
4/9/2020 12:00 AM over 4 years ago	+11	Lagering				34 °F	4/9/2020 4:25 PM over 4 years ago	Fermentation has stopped for a couple of days now. Setting ferm chamber to 34 to cold crash and lager.
4/15/2020 11:26 PM over 4 years ago	+17	Other				34 °F	4/15/2020 11:28 PM over 4 years ago	Added gelatin to keg. Will let it sit for 2 days then transfer to serving keg. Aroma had a clean sulfer smell, as a lager should, not the fart sulfer smell I got from fermenting warm with this yeast.
4/18/2020 7:15 PM over 4 years ago	+20	Fermentation Complete	1.012	3 Gallons		55 °F	4/18/2020 7:18 PM over 4 years ago	Did close transfer to serving keg to get it off the yeast cake. Going to let it Lager for a bit longer in the garage. The aroma is subtle with very low sulpher and cracker. Taste is slighty fruity and present bitterness to help balance the cracker malt.
