Notes

Born on 12/18/24.
First time trying Nektar Dry Yeast. Fermentation started well within 12 hours (I pitched a little on the cool side - 58 degrees).
Active Krausening after 7 days. Gently shook the carboy to loosen the raft on day 8.
Keg on 1/3/25. Nektar has an initial spicy overtone. Wonder if it lasts after a couple of months.
