Notes

WYEAST 3522-Belgian Ardennes

start ferment at 68 for a day or two, then slowly let it rise use ~ 2 degrees per day until it hits 82 is optimum. Let it sit on the yeast cake for 1 mth

Let it condition for 1 mth for optimal results

Goal is to get this to drop down to ~ FG 1007-1010 ~ 90% attenuation
