Notes

Brewed 12/18/15

Mashed with 4 gal at 161F. Too hot but got impatient waiting for it to cool. Probably lowered to 158 over the course of 1 hour mash. Sparked 3 times with 10 gal total of water. Boiled for 90 minutes and added hops at 60, but boiled for another 15 min to get volume down to 6.5 gallons. Whitlock at 25 minutes. Racked #18 sour blonde into secondary and pitched this brew on top of yeast cake that is WLP550 and dregs of sanctification from RR. Will ferment at 65F for 1 month. OG is 1.061 so still shitty efficiency at 63%

Racked to secondary on 1/24/16 and SG was 1.020. Pitched roselare blend that will bring this down a lot over the next few months
