Notes

Brewed March 25, 2023
Kegged April 9, 2023

HOPS
New HBS (Bear Roots) did not have more Amarillo (for bittering), so substituted Chinook. Also did not have Saaz, so substituted Sterling.

Candi Syrup added at 5 minutes before end of boil.

YEAST
2L starter with one packet of WLP570 (Belgian Golden Ale) as the date was a bit older. First 20 hours or so yielded no bubbling, perhaps because ambient temp was only about 56F. So went to White Labs and got a much fresher WLP550 (Belgian Ale) and added to fermenter.

Put into fermentation chamber at lower end of temperature and raised slowly over the next 10 days or so. Cold crashed for about 5 days (longer than anticipated as I had to replace the kegerator).

ACTUAL NUMBERS:
OG = 1.074
FG = 1.012
ABV = 8.14%
