Notes

Batch #1: Mashed at 152, dropping to about 149-150 after 30 minutes. Added 4 ml lactic acid for mash and 2.2 ml for sparge. 1.051 preboil gravity. 1.052 OG. 65 degrees when added to fermenter. Ferm temp should be around 45 degrees.

1.014 FG 1/20/24. Fermented around 45 for 3 weeks, and then temps got down below freezing (very cold!) and beer temp hovered around freezing. Guess I got a head start on lagering. Blowoff tube fell out of starsan, so may have introduced airborne bacteria. But freezing temps hopefully helped keep them at bay. Should keep beer around lager temps until serving to prevent infection.
