Notes

This beer hit 76-78 degrees for 2 days while in the fermenter. I kegged half of it after about a month in the fermenter and let the other half continue to ferment. Because initial keg was not fully fermented (1.018) the first bit was sweet and pretty cloudy. After a couple weeks in the keg it's cleared up and tastes great. I think the other half will taste much better since it will be fully attenuated. .....the other half never fully attenuated, looking back, I've realized that it's because I did about 2-3 brews using the BIAB method and that method causes fermentability issues because of the thin mash. Something to do with enzymes. I will brew this beer again but maybe simplify the grain bill.
