Notes

Brew day: 8/7/21; 8/13/22; 7/26/25
(Took 12 hours to cool to pitch)
Cool to 46 and pitch 2000ml, let it rise to 50
(Took 36 hours for krausen to form)
Primary fermentation at 50 for 7 days from pitch: 8/15/21; 8/21/22; 8/2/25
8/21/22; 8/2/25 - test for gravity, if about 10% of FG...
1.057-1.015 = .042 x 10% = .0042; 1.015+.0042=1.0192 (8/2/25)
Set control to 65 and let it ramp up for 7 days: 8/22/21; 8/28/22; 8/9/25
Test for FG
Place in cold unit and set 8 degrees colder every 12 hours until it reaches 34 (2 days): 8/24/21; 8/30/22; 8/11/25
Cold crash for 4 days at 34: 8/28/21; 9/4/22; 8/17/25 (return from Denver)
