Notes

Fermentation schedule from
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhdb5Dz7V-w

  • Pitch at 63.5F, then let rise naturally to 68F
  • Allow to ferment at 68F until half gravity, then cool it back down to 63.5
  • Keep at 63.5 until between 1/4 and 1/5 gravity (?) then cold crash 43F. (Will probably cold crash a little earlier than expected terminal gravity.)
  • Cold crash at 43F lasts 2 days then "warm maturation"
  • Maturation at 50F
