around 7 gallons at around 200°F
gravity read from hydrometer. the wort was very foamy from FWH additions, so the instrument was difficult to read. |

added only 1# of turbinado sugar, because I was afraid of overshooting the gravity by too much. Turned out that 1# was plenty.
swirled & decanted the whole starter. looked like there were plenty of yeast at the bottom, and the smell was very healthy and phenolic in a saison-way. |

tastes good
bottom of the fermentor smelled strongly of nail polish/must/green apple.
actual saison, once yeast settled out of sample, tasted OK. reminds me of "third rye's a charm" (same yeast) and many of the saisons I've had at FDR. |

assumed beer volume: 5.5
desired volumes: 2.8
assumed temperature: 75
required table sugar: 5.943114691591773
same sugar amount, with only 4.95 gal = 3.024792361111111
same sugar amount, with 6.050000000000001 gal = 2.616078977272727
sampled a bit toward the bottom of the bucket, and it was quite a bit tart, had some acetaldehyde, maybe diacetyl in it. starting to become very annoyed with the speidel, and every beer it has produced in recent memory. hopefully this one mellows with age and/or the off-flavors were concentrated in the beer near the bottom of the bucket. |
