I'm doing whatever it takes to get the most yeast possible.
1/9/2021 9:26 PM over 3 years ago	+9	Fermentation Complete	1.011	21 Liters		8 °C	1/9/2021 9:28 PM over 3 years ago	Looks right. Tasted and I could not detect any alcohol. It tastes so light but there is some body too it. Aroma is so delicate, maybe some oatmeal cookie smell. It's so faint. ABV says 6% but I can't detect it. Going into 4 weeks of dry hop hibernation at 2C.
2/11/2021 8:45 PM over 3 years ago	+42	Packaged	1.010	19.02 Liters		18 °C	2/11/2021 8:45 PM over 3 years ago	The dry hops aroma is really coming through with a little bit of bread. It's a weird cross sensation at this point. 1 x 10 litre keg 1 x 500 ml 24 x 355 ml. Broke 500 ml of gyle earlier this week, so I substituted 500 ml of Helles gyle.
3/25/2021 10:55 PM over 3 years ago	+84	Tasting Note					3/25/2021 10:55 PM over 3 years ago	Tried it a month early. Very chuggable. Good carbonation which we were after. Evervescent and mild. I can see how easy it would pair with pizza. Will test it on an Italian tomorrow at lunch.
4/15/2021 9:59 PM over 3 years ago	+105	Tasting Note					4/15/2021 9:59 PM over 3 years ago	Hooked up the keg. A very foamy fellow. Very tasty once the foam dies down. A big hit with all tasters. The lesson is to cut the gyle in half for the keg part of the packaging. We will try that on the next combined keg / bottling session. But this recipe is worth doing again.

Notes

1.5 litres of Gyle removed for packaging later.
Going for 2.50 volumes.
