Notes

I had a single pack of WLP820, and I made a 1.040SG 1.8L starter and grew it for about 20 hours with the stir plate on medium low at ~74F. It was a medium yellow color. Then chilled it for 3 days at 50, and brought it up to 54F for the 4th day.

Chilled fresh wort overnight to 54F, and pitched yeast at 54F on Aug 30.

Opened fermenter on Sep. 6. to measure gravity. Thin layer of green-looking Krausen on top. Gravity was 1.014. Bumped ferm temp up to 65F for a diacetyl rest.
