Kings Landing - Saturday, February 3, 2018
I am out of honey malt and the crystal 15 smells funny, so recipe has changed. I will not be brewing this style of beer until later on in the summer. Lagers in March, April and May. June is pool work, so outside stuff takes over. Should have enough beer anyway. If not, sneak one in, an ale though. I don't have enough US-05 for another batch. I may meaure it again without the vacuum packaging. No gravity reading or tasteing of wort today. Cleaning everything.
No mistakes today either. I write just about everything down.

FERMENTATION NOTES
Pitched yeast @ 11:30 am. It will be way sooner when I wire the sparge to 240v.
Next Day - Both going good. 66 F.
Day 4 - Slowed down a lot. 64 F.
TASTING NOTES
This is the only one that tastes okay. Not that great, but drinkable. I am retiring this style. I will never make it again. Sick of that citrus taste. I will buy it if I ever have a craving for this style of beer. Lagers for now on and perhaps Steam Beer which I like but need to brew it more.
