Notes

I filtered the beer after two weeks to get rid of all the gunk in the fermentor. After fermeting and sanitizing the fermenter, the beer was added back to the fermenter and cooled to 36F. After four days at 36F. Fined with gelatin 1/2 tsp per 1/2 cup water.

Bottle primed, 1 tsp table sugar per bottle. The beer is quite flat after filtering.
