Notes

Fermentation follows the same routine as my Belgian Golden Strong, in that it starts relatively low but ramps up quickly. I start at 62F, but immediately allow it to rise by a degree or so per day. We want clean alcohols and some fermentation character, but letting it start too warm will increase your risk of fusels – it just isn’t worth i
