Decanted WY2352 starter ~400B cells for Ferm #1
Partially Decanted 34/70 slurry starter ~400B cells for Ferm #2
OG: 12.8 Brix

This was a great blend of malts. Excellent Helles, Might try adding 5% Vienna in place of equivalent amount of Pils in batch for the NHC Finals

1st Place: 2019 NHC 1st Round - Indianapolis out of 24 total entries.
