Notes

2024-02-24 People really enjoyed this when I made it a few years ago. It had really good orange notes in the aroma and flavor. PacJade puts off orange, but I think the thyme plays off that note well. This time I don't have basic 2-row malt on hand due to last weeks' brew so I'm going to go 3/4 Crisp Floor MO and 1/4 Avangard Pils. I think full MO would be nice, but I want to thin that out a bit. Also, adding 5 g of ascorbic acid to mash for anti-oxidant support during later canning.
Simplifying some. Not doing a whirlopool, but adding 1.5 oz and 0.5 oz of HBlanc at flameout. I can cool quickly so we should get a lot of flavor off of it. Will add thyme at flameout too.
Weighed out 22 sprigs of thyme to be about 4 grams plucked leaves from the stems, tender tips added with stem. 15 (for dry thymeing) was about 2.75 g.
