Notes

Made starter of WLP001 from pale ale brewed 2 months ago. Was in mason jar in sterile water in fridge. Starter only got going for ~16 hours.
Strike water was on the high end, shitty thermometer lead me to think I was mashing at 156-158F--not good.
OG was 1.060 at 80F
Pitched yeast at ~78F
First batch using temp controlled chest freezer. Set at 68F when it was supposed to be at 65F, started bubbling at 68F in ~4 hours, lowered to 65 12 hours after pitch...chugged along slowly for 1 day bubbling, lots of krausen but airlock activity stopped. Raised back up to 68F 48 hours after pitch to try and regain activity. SG 1.036 at this time.
Dry hopped with 1 oz of Falconer's Flight from Day 7 to Day 12.
Day 12, gravity down to 1.010 surprisingly.
Dry Hopped from day 12 to Day 14. Day 14 needed stainless steel boil kettle plug that I used to help weigh down the hop bag for the Crystal Wheat brew. Only dry hopped the 2oz FF for 2 days.
