Notes

Expecting a lower ABV due to yeast intolerance to ABV value. Finish to be sweet, aromatic, and full of character. You will know you are drinking a beer.

Yeast starter brewed 2 pounds dark DME to 3 L water, reduced to 2 L. no activity 48 hrs. pitched 2 days later.

14 gallon wort collected, boil down to 6.5 gallon. 5.5 gallon chilled and transferred to fermenter, 1 gallon transferred for yeast starter for next batch.

Fermentation notes: this is a ale temperature lager fermentation. pitching yeast starter approx 1000 B cells according to calcs. At 5 days no diacetyl formation to taste.
