Notes

Inspiration for this beer is New Glarus Moon Man. Fermented at 68F for 5 days, then ramped up a degree per day to 73F over 5 more days. Cold crashed for 24 hours. Utilized a CO2 transfer device to purge a corny keg during fermentation, and racked into same keg post fermentation. Brew day to first pint was 14 days. Color turned out almost dead on. Smell and flavor very close. Next time need to clarify. Pulled a lot of info from here https://isthmus.com/food-drink/beer/beer-here-moon-man-no-coast-pale-ale-from-new-glarus-brewing/
