Notes

July 2023 notes:
7.125 gallons of water (including water used for salt additions) is exactly right!
Added 1 oz Citra with the Amarillo for the 5-min addition. Held hops and coriander/citrus in wort up until yeast pitch.

June 2022 notes:
Use pH 5.2 for mash water. No dry hops.

May-June 2021 notes:
Add 1 lb grain (0.5 lb each 2-row and wheat malts) to compensate for low efficiency (65% = achievable target; prefer 70%)
Coriander prep = 8 minutes at 300F convection. Let cool; lightly crack with rolling pin.
Add Dry hopping for depth of flavor/aroma.

June 2020 recipe revisions:
Adjust pH with lactic acid; reduce Cl to SO4 ratio to 1:1.
Add 1 lb grain: reduce wheat grist ratio; sub some pilsner malt.
Adjust hops additions for low to mid 30s IBU.
Increase yeast pitch rate: 150 g recycled refrigerated Kveik slurry

May 2020 tasting notes:
Recycled kveik "experiment" successful: 25 grams frozen kveik "cake" produced active fermentation within 3 hours!
Citrus and Hops flavors shine and wheat maltiness is nice complement. Overall tastes a little thin and soft; could use a bit more yeasty crispness/dryness.

"Original" profile (May 2020):
Recycled Voss kveik (OYL-061) that was harvested from a batch of NEIPA. Reconstituted Kveik yeast: 25 grams of frozen/dried slurry.
Wheat malt base
Amarillo hops (late additions)
Toasted Coriander and orange-lemon peel flavors
