Notes

Mash at 151 degrees for 60 mins.
60 minute boil.

used the kolsch yeast
Goal was to : lager for 3-4 weeks at 34 degrees then carb to 2.5 volumes.Great to age in bottle.

No sparge technique with 8 gallons.

What actually occured: Let sit in the fermentor for a while, (3/21/21 - 8/11/21) and bottled to 2.0 volumes of CO2.

OG was at 1.081? Maybe this is where I got the other measurement from because this is very high from where I expected it, and the other beire de garde I had still tasted like a big beer. I'll chalk it up to secretarial issues, and assume this beer had the OG listed below that I recorded on that.

OG: 1.043
FG: 1.006
ABV: 4.86%
