Notes

3.8 Gal to Carboy.
16 oz. / .12 Gal left in Kettle.

Pitched yeast at 4:30pm at 70.4F. Set to 73F. 73F at 7:30pm. Very Active at 11:15 pm. Day 2, 75.7F at noon. Held Temp.
Day 6, Raised to 78F.

Kegged on Day 8 at 1.004 FG.
3.15 Gal to Keg, Force Carbonated.

Kveik version was good, very round flavor, but a little boring. Saison version was just a little bit sharp.
Mixed it 1 part Kveik to 2 parts Saison for competition.
Blend was very good, and won the competition.
