Notes
5/30/2023 - Brew Day - Mashed with 2oz cascade hops. The mash was a little thicker than I usually do because I wasn't paying attention to the mash water amount. Sparged & added 2 tsp CaCl to the pot and boiled for 40 minutes. Chilled to 175 degrees before adding hops and whirlpooled for 15 minutes before chilling the rest of the way. Temp was down to 160 after the 15 minute whirlpool. Pitched yeast at 70 degrees and aerated with Mix-n-Stir.
6/6/2023 - Transferred to secondary & saved yeast - SG = 1.010 - Some tropical thiolized notes from the beer along with the standard hop flavors, but much less so than the almost overpowering notes from Omega Lunar Crush. Decided to add an oz of Citra & Strata to the secondary to up the flavor a bit and help balance the yeast. Temp got up to probably around 74-76 degrees during active fermentation, and it seemed to settle down after only a couple days. Saved 5 bottles of yeast to use on future batches.
