Notes

Fermented for 2 days at 20deg.C at 15psi in fermentasaurus, then slowly let it rise (1-2 degrees per day) until it hits 22. Once yeast dropped out reduce temp. to 7deg. C., and let it sit on the yeast cake for 1 week. Pressure transferred to 19L ball lock keg. Carbonated to 2.5 volumes and stored at 3deg C for 1 week. Final Gravity 1.005 after xxdays, 7.76% ABV. Less distinct banana-like flavor similar to Wyeast 3068 as observed from first Belgian Blonde cw.
