Notes

Mashed longer than expected (65 min vs 30 min)
Chilled wort to 61F before pitching yeast
OG: 1.050

(4/9, approx. 7pm): Placed fermenter in kegerator set to 60F (therm taped to fermenter)

(4/10, 8pm): Fermentation seemed slow to start. Wort circulating with yeast activity, but little to no airlock movement.

Active fermentation began on 4/11 after briefly raising temp 1-2F

Raised fermentation chamber to 65F after 4-5 days.

(4/17, 7:30pm): SG: 1.01; Set fermentation chamber to 34F and attached CO2 line set to <1 psi

(4/24): Kegged and set to approx. 14 psi
