Notes

OG 1.062

9/30/2017- carbonated last night. I did two separate 5 gallon carboys with one of them pitched with dregs from the Flagship yeast that was either infected with brett or some cross-contamination with a Belgian strain. The other 5 gallon carboy was pitched with Funk town yeast. The funk town yeast had a more neutral flavor and aroma profile with the other lending to a fairly pronounced Belgian character. Either way, I blended the two 1/2 and 1/2 to both kegs that I racked in.

I do like the interplay of the subtle characteristics of more complex yeast strains on hop forward ales. However, I think what I'm getting isn't subtle enough. The base malt, hop bill, water chemistry and etc is right on point, but I think I'm getting more of a Belgian IPA beer that comes across fairly cloying/sweet. The Funktown ended at 1.018 and the other ended at 1.008 with the blend being about 1.013, but the dominant character is the stone fruit hop characteristics accentuating the banana/clove character. Probably need to watch on my pitching rates a little closer (Although I did a good size starter) and/or give a little more time to dry up on the funk town strain.

might be smart to do separate yeast starters for brett-sac and Vermont with 1 liter of vermont and 1/2 liter of brett-sac for getting better ratios and healthier pitching rates?
