Notes

Preboil 1.067. Post boil OG 1.075 SRM was much darker than predicted see how it turns out.

Pitched on yeast cake that had been dry hopped, 22C wort, keg out of keezer 1h before pitch.
Open fermentation in keg for the first 16hrs.

Top cropped. Cleaned up and put on a spunding valve at 3 psi.
Pitched 3pm, top cropped 9pm, Krausen peaked at 2am, spunding valve at 8am.

Ferment for 16 days then lager 8 weeks
FG 1.008 ABV 8.6% (FG much lower than predicted 1.018)
A bit hot - extend cold crash time, potentially add rum soaked oak cube if need to embrace the heat.
