9/24/2020 5:46 PM over 4 years ago	-1	Yeast Starter	1.044	2.25 Liters		72 °F	2/25/2021 1:44 PM over 3 years ago	Starter of 5-month-old A38 Juice yeast (factory package). The color of yeast was peanut butter, so not sure if it is viable. The A38 worked out just fine, so 5-month-old yeast is OK. The first yeast starter failed. Rethinking how I bank my yeast. New idea is to create an oversized starter and half goes to brew and the other half goes to the refrigerator for the next batch. Bottom harvesting has too much trub, and not had much luck with top cropping.

So the kettle would shut off and not maintain a boil. Need to add a fan to the base of the kettle. This issue caused my process to take over an extra hour. Whirlpool change from the recipe: Added 1.25 oz of Citra and Galaxy Added 2 oz of Zeus Hops were added loose Whirlpool temperate: started at 165 degrees and finished about 160 after 25 minutes. Stirred every 5 minutes, and covered.

10/11/2020 10:18 AM over 4 years ago	+16	Tasting Note					10/17/2020 10:41 AM over 4 years ago	Tried after 3 days of bottle conditioning. Color was just incredible! Aroma: Had some dankness with topical/citrusy notes. Flavor was fantastic! Now wait till it has had enough time in the bottle.
10/17/2020 10:44 AM over 4 years ago	+22	Tasting Note					7/1/2021 7:34 PM over 3 years ago	Second tasting after 10 days in the bottle. Color: Murky yellowy to almost straw Aroma: Citrusy with some dankness Mouthfeel: Soft and smooth Taste: Just a wonderful balanced drinking beer with slight sweet finish.

Notes

Second tasting after 10 days in the bottle.

Color: Murky/hazy yellow with a thick creamy white head
Aroma: Citrusy with a hint of dankness
Mouthfeel: Soft and smooth
Taste: Just a wonderful balanced drinking beer with a slight sweet finish. Just the way I like my NEIPA's!

If you try brewing this please let me know how it came out, and what if any changes you made that enhanced the beer.

I will be brewing this again in an effort to improve it.
