Notes
3/31/19 - Started fermentation upstairs, but it was getting a little too warm, so I brought it down to the basement. The activity seemed to slow down a lot overnight, so hopefully I didn't shock the yeast. I moved the fermenter by the water heater to get a little extra heat.
4/11/19 - Transferred onto 2 split & scraped vanilla beans. SG=1.020. Nice mellow roast notes and good balance.
4/27/2019 - Kegged and added cold steeped coffee prior to racking into keg. Balanced vanilla character that I think will play very well with the coffee. Subtle chocolate notes and restrained roast character.
