Notes

[From Candi Syrup, Inc. recipe]
90 minute boil with hops, adjuncts and nutrients as needed. Chill to 64F. Oxygenate slowly through 0.05 micron diffusion
for 90 seconds (we’re after 9-10 ppm O2). Ramp primary from 64F to 76F through 7 days. At 1.013 rack off primary yeast
to secondary and cool to 55F. Hold for 5 days+ until the FG of 1.012 is reached. Dump yeast a second time, lower temp
to 40F and hold for 6 weeks. Bottle using heavy Belgian bottles or Champagne bottles. Prime with 31g/gal Simplicity
Candi Syrup and re-pitch 350ml Westmalle stir-plate. Bottle re-ferment for 14 days at 74F. Cellar for 12 months.
