Notes

Note: 597 Bil Cells required for yeast. Going under will underattenuate and disrupt the yeast's ability to reduce diacetyl.

3 pkgs of Ringwood in a 2.2L Starter with Stir Plate

Diacetyl Rest for 2/3 days after primary fermentation completes

Add 1# of Cacao Nibs in the secondary for 5 days.
Add 10# of Raspberries in the secondary for 5 days.
Add 1oz Vanilla after raspberries ferment out

Let rest for 2 weeks or until Diacetyl is reduced
