Notes

4/13/2020 - Brew Day - Mashed on the lower side (146) to promote a dry and crisp finsih. Chilled to 70 degrees and pitched yeast. Planning on fermenting cool in the basement in the low 60s.
4/30/2020 - added .5 oz Hallertau Blanc hops to primary and brought fermenter upstairs to finish out warmer since it still had a thick layer of krausen on top.
