| Boil Notes |
|
Guessed pre-boil og Would like more yield next time. |
| Fermentation Notes |
|
Pitched 1.4L starter, which had been going 6 days at 90F. Brought volume up to around 5.25g. Raised to 95F after a week. Pitched 1007 w/o starter, probably good idea to pitch a small active starter next time to help with FG - this took a couple days to take off. |

| Tasting Notes |
|
Initial sample: higher FG but more sour. Carbed: too sour, too much time w/ lacto. But that Joe Snow syrup is awesome. |
