Notes

Roasted barley and carafa is added with 15 mins left in the mash. For a slight roasty note, add 30 grams roasted barley at dough in.

fermentation plan:
pitch at 17 degrees
let free rise, but cap at 19,5 degrees until krausen falls, then rise to 20 degrees for 48 hours to let the yeast clean out.
cold crash and add gelatin
