Notes

Brewed on January 28th, 2017:

Added about a tablespoon of baking soda to the mash to increase pH.
It originally read around 4.9, afterward it raised to about 5.1. Never got it to the ideal 5.4. Need to pay attention earlier in the mash to get this right.
OG into the fermenter was a little over 1.055. I'm considering that nailed.

Feb 20, 2017:
Gravity reads as 1.005. Not sour but tastes like a clean saison. A little darker than expected (but close to brewersfriend's estimate)

May 8th: Chilled and carbonated
Very clear and copper colored.
Almost apple flavor coming from the yeast, I think.
