Notes
5/10/2018 - Brew Day - Top up bitter with RO water and top up sour with .5 gallon grape juice and 1 gallon RO water. NOTE: I was going to add 1 gallon of grape juice to the sour, but I accidentally added too much water and forgot the second .5 gallon of juice. SG will be a little lower, but that's OK.
6/4/2018 - Kegged Bitter. FG=1.010. Clean malt flavor and aroma. Slight bitterness. Should be a good lighter alcohol summer beer.
6/27/2018 - Soaked 4-6 oz of previously used funky oak spirals and cubes in 600 ml red wine from Mexico for 2 weeks. Added that to the fermenter to age. SG = 1.000 when adding. Subtle hay flavor, not much tartness yet.
