Notes

Boiled off quite a bit more than expected but still managed to get between 5.5-6 into the fermenter.
Expect 1.5gal/hr with the power turned to 3 o'clock for most of the boil.

Water volumes:
'mash_volume': 5.5,
'sparge_volume': 5.75
'pre-boil_volume': 9.1
'post-boil_volume': 7.9
'fermenter_volume': 5.6,

Once sacc starter and lacto vials were pitched, I started a 1L funk weapon starter and added the 400mL funk weapon #3 after draining half. So 1200 ml total
After 4 days, drained 400ml off top, swirled and put 400ml in storage and rest in fermenter.



Ideally, age on orange peel and cherries
