Notes

Fermented for 6 days at 15C ambient, wort rose to probably 17C.

After 6 days, put on balcony to cold crash at 1-3C for a day, then added gelatin. Brought back inside, put on ice with a blanket to keep cold for 36 hours before bottling

Best Lager I've ever made, perfect balance of crisp and malty, hint of noble hop character, delicious. I just wish I waited for kt to fully lager before drinking 80% of it haha

Brewed a second time, and wow once again gotta say, probably the best thing I've made, tastes downright commercial. Cleared it up with gelatin and it's ready to drink in 3 weeks
