Notes

Three liquid packs of yeast (target >230 billion cells. Overpitch with 4 liquid packs if dates questionable.
Grain increased and efficiency estimate decreased because this is first all-grain attempt.
Increased 15 min boil hops from .5 to .75 to raise IBUs.

How long should we be letting this one sit in the fermentor?

Sam_abq • 07/03/2018 at 01:38pm
I let it sit 4 weeks, but I had a leaking fermentor, lost half the batch and the remainder was quite oxidized, so I can't vouch for how it would turn out if properly done.
