Notes

Add 4 mL Hop Shots and D-180 syrup at 60 and 15 min. (One each).

Ferment at 68F for first 2-3 days and then raise to 72F.

BREW DAY (16-Feb-19):
---------------------------------
Gravity was quite a bit low after not cold crashing 2L starter, so 1 lb of DME boiled and added. Tilt shows that after primary ferm kicked off it mixed in appropriately.

UPDATE (22-Feb-19):
——————————
Added remainder of CBC-1 packet (maybe 2/3 full?) to fermenter. Due to massive blow off during first few days, it looks like a lot of yeast was lost. Fermentation had stalled around 1.030, temp was dropped down to 68F.

UPDATE (27-Feb-19):
——————————
Still slowly chugging along, down to around 1.015 now, let it continue to finish before racking to a corny keg and naturally conditioning with sugar.

Kegged on 02-Mar-19
