Notes

3/4/2020 - Brew Day - Mashed around 156-158 for 30 minutes. I noticed the Roselair blend I had was manufactured in August of 2019, but I decided to pitch it anyway and see what happened. I ended up using my mixing drill attachment to add some additional air and rouse the yeast the following day, and then I noticed strong airlock activity when coming back from a trip a couple days later, so I think it will be fine. Going to let this one ferment and age a month or so in primary before racking to secondary and maybe adding some oak and harvesting the yeast cake for future batches.
