Notes

added 1oz ginsing extract at boil. Yeast was 4 packs safale 05 and 1 pack windsor yeast. Made starter with wert 5 mins into boil into a 1 quart mason jar 3/4 full and added yeast. Post boil, pumped wert while still on heat and filled the fermenter with boiling wert. Ran cold water through the heat exchange in the fermenter until it hit the target temp of 69. Used a digital temp controller and plugged a solenoid into the controller and ran well water through. The controller/solenoid set up worked perfect!! Strong fermentation started very quickly and is still ongoing. OG was 1.070.

The beer was kegged a couple of days ago, 8/31/2020. one of the best beers I have ever brewed! First brew in my new spike conical. The ginseng leaves a very pleasant after taste and works very well with the hops and maltyness of the beer. 3rd ginseng beer I have brewed and nailed this one!! Still light enough the Wife greatly enjoys. The ginseng is also having a side effect the wife is enjoying even more than the beer! First time I have made a beer where theres a coil inside the fermenter to control the temp, I think this made the most difference?
