Notes

Yeast came from a top crop harvest of a co-pitched OYL-106 // OYL-006 blend.

Top cropped 4x of the krausen and added same day to a 1L starter on the stir plate - left for 3 days, then decanted and packaged into a clean wide mouth mason jar and stored in fridge until brew day

Made a 1L starter 24 hours before brew day to get healthy yeast going and minimize any viability loss.
