Notes

Pressure ferment in corny keg at 5psi at room temperature 68-70F. 20-21C.

May change my mind on the yeast strain and go with WY2124 instead.

New notes(brew #1): Ended up brewing this with lower volume to fit in the corny keg and did not add the dextrose due to already being at the OG. Put it on nitro and poured with a stout faucet and highly recommend, super smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Krispy yeast did a very nice job.

New notes(brew #2): Original brew was 9lbs grain and 0.5lbs corn. Added additional corn (8lb grain, 1.5lb corn). Again ended up with higher than anticipated OG and did not add dextrose. This is amazing. Put it on CO2 this time and was excellent. Perfect clear.

New notes(brew #3): Reducing grain once again to allow for dextrose. (7lb grain, 1.5lb corn). Turned out perfect.

New notes(brew #4): Switching to BIAB and 10 gallons. Doubled all ingredients.
