Notes

Brewed on 6/4/19
Mashed at 150F for 60 minutes
The pH of mash was 5.15 after cooling it to 72F, so next time I won't add any lactic acid and see where it comes in and adjust accordingly.
Boiled for 90 minutes.
Cooled to 64F and pitched yeast.
OG = 1.052
Fermented at 66F for 10 days
Cold crashed for 4 days
Kegged on 6/18/19 and force carbonated at 40psi for one day.
