Notes

Notes post first brew: needs to be slightly more sour. More carbonation for more zing. Better filtration. Maybe Biofine or double up the gelatin.



PH target should be 3.2 - 3.4 post fermentation (May need to dose lactic acid to attain this post fermentation)

Add 3 lbs.
cherry purée on day 4

Add Cherry extract to taste after filtration. We used More Beer cherry extract.

Dosage was post 2.6 carb. Added 2 oz per 5 gallons directly to keg. circulated for 10 minutes post addition, then topped up carb.
