Notes

Primary fermentation will be 10 days.
Secondary fermentation will be 14 days.
Large yeast slurry from harvested yeast will be pitched.

Brown sugar syrup will be added to day three of primary fermentation.

I will bottle about one gallon of this before racking the remainder to carboy for secondary fermentation.

Honey syrup will be added to day one of secondary fermentation.
Cold crash for two days and add gelatin.
Cold crash an additional two days and rack to keg.
