Notes

Pitched at 70. Put into cold chamber with ice jugs.Chilled too quickly. Moved to mid-60 area overnight.
Transferred to secondary at day 20. Should have transferred at day 14 or 15. SG at secondary 1.01 or less. Lot of fruit from yeast. No wheat in grain bill next time? Nutty flavor. Still sweet. Lower mash temp next time.
Starting to dry out in secondary Day 23.
Bottled 26 -12oz
Carbed at 10 days, sample very good, slightly sweet
Sample at 24 days in bottle. Barely chilled Seems perfect!

This has turned out to be hands-down my best beer to date. Definitely on the House Brew list.
