Notes


Kegged on day 12, gently carbing at 12ish PSI. No cold crash

Gelatin on day 13.

Batch produced 5 gal + 2100 mL. Be sure to figure that back into next batch. 5.75 batch can go back down to 5.5. Trub was very small (no cold crash too), the new batch sparging clears out a lot of protein, trub was almost all yeast cake.
