Notes

last dubbels I've brewed have been infected with my crazy house lacto/bacteria strain that runs amuck. So I payed extra attention to sanitation with brand new PBW with hot/warm water all the way to the top and brushed out, along with new star sanz to follow it out. I even baked the plate chiller just for insurance.
