Notes

After mashing, wrapped the carboy in a heat belt, pitched one small plastic container of GoodBelly probiotic shot (unflavored) and let sit for 3 days. Following this we racked to a pot and then brought to a boil on the kitchen stove. VERY strong apple smells, almost of strong cider, which is a product of acetaldehyde. reracked to Carboy and pitched Brett/Sacc strain.

2.5 weeks into fermentation, I dry hopped with 1oz of Lemon Drop Hops and let sit for 3 days prior to bottling.

Came out GREAT, however for the next brew I will use Pilsner malt instead of 2-row and I will also add wheat, per this is the standard recipe.

Beer had a very funky smell but tasted so smooth.

Efficiency came out very good but exceeded target ABV range slightly. Not a huge deal, can probably adjust by lower amount of grains. Although 6.66lbs of grains is why the beer is named as such.
