Notes

Craft Beer & Brewing recipe. (Feb/Mar 2020)
Port City Brewing: Johathan Reeves - Brewmaster.

The CB&B recipe did not specify malt brands other than saying Belgian Aromatic and Caramel 15. Used Franco-Belgies for the Aromatic and Briess 20 for the Caramalt 15.

Alternate Yeasts: Fermentis Safale S-04, White Labs WLP017 Whitbread.

For the yeast I used Imperial House with a starter. Starter is 1.8 liter with 6.3z of DME to get to 418b cells. (yeast was one month old)
