Notes

Normal mash at 155F, followed by sparge

1 hour boil time

Fermentation with The Yeast Bay Melange sour blend - took yeast from another beer aging in secondary (one thief full dropped right into the wort)

After the initial vigorous fermentation ended (aka saccharomyces fermentation), approximately 3 weeks, transferred to a secondary vessel with 2 cans of peach puree and 2oz of sanitized oak cubes, filling the 5 gallon fermenter all the way up to the neck

Experienced minor blowoff thanks to the fruit puree fermenting

Sampled every 2-3 months until done
