Notes

Belgium candy syrup added in last 15 mins of boil.

Gyle collected from the dregs at the end using a sieve. Usually there is about 1.5 liters left over after auto siphoning wort into carboy. Collect this and cold crash again to get only the wort. Freeze until bottling day.

Use blow off tube or separate into two 22 liter carboys. This Yeast is pretty ferocious.
