Notes

Add blackberries and raspberries at end of primary fermentation.

OG: 1.041 SG / 10.3 Brix (uncorrected)

Pre-Berry FG: 1.018 SG / 4.6 Brix (uncorrected)
Added 12oz raspberries, 16oz blackberries

Great aroma, good berry flavor. Far more than the original beer though. Too tart. Need to mash higher and use a lower attenuation yeast next time.

FOR 2022 BATCH:

Increase mash temp to 150F
Increase Crystal 10L to 8oz
Omit lactic acid
Lower IBUs to 8-12
