Notes

Cold side dry hop really works leave nice fruit notes but subtle....definitely do again

DH 21-mar-2025

FG 1.012 20-Mar-25 Force diacetyl test complete crashed to 8 for final DH as above
Hopefully FG dry enough......only had 1 pkt of saflager S-189...

I think the Mash Thermometer is erratic, mash getting too high and creating unfermentable sugars

Gel in 24-Mar

FG readings taken over last 3 days (Today 26-apr), stable @ 1.011. Subtle Tropical fruit flavours, stronger than last time hopefully ok when cold and carbonated fully.
