Notes

Coriander(coarse) and Grains of Paradise(fine) were first crushed separately with a mortar and pestle before being steeped in 100ml Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao at room temp for 5 days and cold crashed to 34F for 5 days before being added to the beer 30 seconds before transfer to keg.

A 5L starter was spun on a stirplate for 36hrs with sterile air pumped continuously on top of the vortex. The whole starter was pitched, and a volume adjustment was made to the Sparge to account for the additional 1.32gal.

Yeast was Pitched @ 68F, allowed to rise to 70F in the first 8hrs, and allowing to rise 1F/8hrs for the next 2 days until it hit 72F and by then fermentation was complete. Temp was held at 72F for 9 days until a soft crash to 55F was performed for an additional 9 days.

Beer was kegged and held at 42F. a Burst carbonation was performed: 50psi for 18hrs, 30psi for 6hrs, 20 psi for 3 hrs, served at 10psi.
