Notes

4/25/15: Started 2 liter starter of Wyeast 3711 and a 3 stage starter of WLP644 to be split between the European and American hopped saisons.

5/3/15: Brew day. Added too much water and ended up undershooting the target gravity by .004. This was just as well, as the hop pellets and trub absorbed almost a gallon. It ended up being even less of an issue than I thought, since the melange of yeasts was a monster, reaching 92% apparent attenuation.

5/9/15: Raised the temperature to 72ºF.

5/25/15: Added dry hops late at night.

5/28/15: Bottled with table sugar for 2.4 volumes of CO2. Final gravity 1.002, 4.8% abv.

6/15/15: First tasting. Hazy, straw colored with a soft white head. Fantastic aromas of sauvignon blanc, peaches, pepper, clove, tropical fruit, and a hint of funk. Taste is more of the same, with a small amount of resiny stickiness from the hops. By far the best beer that I've ever brewed.
