Notes

This yeast will likely produce lactic acid first and then start to ferment afterward. I pitched at 75°F and held steady the whole time. I added fruit and oak on day 5-6, nearly at terminal. Let sit on fruit for at least 5-7 days. Cold crash for 24-48 hours before transfer. I added a little Biofine to help settle pulp in suspension. The beer pours hazy with no pulp and a nice creamy head.

As mentioned in my post, this beer would benefit from a few more days of fruit and oak contact time. I added 4.5 pounds of fruit (1.5 cans), but I wouldn’t hesitate to add two full cans next time. I would also experiment with two oak spirals for more pronounced oak character.
