Notes

Added about 9 ml of lactic acid to lower from 5.25-4.6

Lacto wasn't viable anymore. Added 7 ml of lactic acid instead (didn't have ph meter anymore).

Added 80g (pre-dehydrated weight) of hibiscus flowers at 10 min. 37g of purple and 45 g of white.

A big struggle to cool beer down. Unsure of yeast viability. OG was much higher than intended (1.044)
