Notes
1/20/2021 - Brew Day - I collected a bit too much wort to start, so I boiled for 10 minutes before adding hops. I also boiled a bit harder than normal to reduce the volume a bit more. Cooled to 75 degrees and pitched sour mix. I plan to harvest the yeast cake for future batches and transfer this beer onto some oak for a bit and then add the hibiscus a couple weeks before kegging.
2/11/2021 - Transferred - SG=1.020 - SG was a bit on the high side and had some diacetyl notes, bu that's ok. I transferred into a few oz of previously used oak cubes (some sour & some from Belgian Dubbel). I saved 3 containers of yeast and ended up dumping the rest of the yeast into secondary to help clean up the residual diacetyl. Hopefully the aging process will take care of that and develop some nice funk notes.
