Notes

Making 2 starters. Each 3 liters with a wort gravity of 1.040. Target pitch rate 914 billion cells. First should get us to 500 billion, the second a bit less (pack will be older and less viable) but in the ballpark and probably a little more than target.

Thinking of adding more dry hops than recipe states. If for no other reason than to avoid leftovers in a broken seal bag.

Hit 153 on the nose but had mashed in right away as soon as the water hit the strike temp, so it continued rising from the disc heat up to maybe 156. FOI. Didn't check pH until 50 minutes in, but it was 5.1

First runnings: 1.084, as always
Final: 1.006
Pre-boil - 1.054

At almost 4 months it is clear - perfect color, and a very satisfying ESB -
