Notes

Split batch process:

After 60 min boil, drop temp to ~170F and transfer 6 gal to SS BrewBucket (continue chilling there). To remaining 7 gal, add 4 oz Nelson Sauvin for 30 min whirlpool. Add 0.5 lb of dextrose with hops.

Kolsch gets 2 packets of Koln
Tart IPA - Nelson gets 2 packets Sourvisea and then 4 oz dry hop after fermentation

BREW DAY: 01-DEC-2020
-------------------------------------
pitched Koln yeast (2 packets) at ~66F into just under 6 gal of wort.
pitched Philly Sour yeast (2 packets) at ~75F into 7 gal of wort.

Lag time on Koln yeast was 36-48 hr, finished by day 5 at 62F, FG = 1.009 and ~4.7% ABV

Bumped temp on Philly Sour to 72F, much better fermentation profile at this temp.

Dry hopped with 6 oz Nelson on 12/9, kegged on 12/12.

Same FG as Kolsch yeast, pH at 3.4

Next time add close to 6 gal into SS Brewbucket, ended up short on Kolsch and extra on tart IPA
