By next morning temperature was down to 64F. Original plan was to pitch over yeast cake of sour beer that was brewed on Thanksgiving 2018 but Ellen accidentally dumped 95% of the cake. Pitched on what was left of the cake and added a handful of medium toast American oak cubes that were pre-boiled for 10 min
7/14/2019 3:38 AM over 5 years ago	+14	Sample				2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	Pitched dregs from "Almanac Dogpatch Currant" and 1 bottle of Homebrew Sofie clone (which has live brett but no bugs). Beer was in the fermentation chamber until now. Bubbled over onto carpet and into fridge and smelled rancid. Tasted beer to make sure it tasted okay and no infection present. Tasted clean thin and boring.
7/17/2019 9:43 PM over 5 years ago	+17	Sample				2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	Pitched the dregs of Crooked Stave Petite sour Rose.
11/17/2019 4:20 PM over 5 years ago	+140	Sample				11/20/2019 1:21 PM over 5 years ago	Sampled a small amount with Adam. First time this beeer tasted sour in any way.
2/23/2020 5:38 PM over 4 years ago	+238	Sample				2/23/2020 5:39 PM over 4 years ago	Tasted it today. very sour. Has a nice funk to it too. Very delicious. Ali suggested paring with a "bitter" fruit like blood orange or grape fruit. With stable gravity reading, would be ready to bottle.
11/26/2020 4:42 PM over 4 years ago	+515	Fermentation Complete				11/29/2020 2:13 AM over 4 years ago	Bottled on thanksgiving 11/26/2020 On 8/13/2020 I bottled half this beer and racked the other half onto pluots. Bottled the pluot portion today (11/26/2020). Base beer - black caps Pluot beer - white cap with red sharpie writing "PLT, 6/30/2019"
