Notes

"Brew" Day - Heated 2 gallons of water, 1/2 crushed campden tablet, and 4lbs of table sugar to a boil. Boiled for 5 minutes, turned off the heat and added 2 tsp DAP yeast nutrient, 2 tsp Yeast Energizer, and 2 TB Lemon Juice. Chilled in the sink in a water bath until temp was around 85 degrees. Poured into a sanitized fermenter, topped up with cold water to reach 5 gallons & added yeast. Left in the basement to ferment in the mid to upper 60's. Didn't take a gravity reading, but should be around 1.037 based on what Beersmith lists.

4/27/2021 - Brew day - Used my carbon filter for all water in this batch to test whether or not that makes a difference. I also rehydrated two packets of yeast prior to pitching using half sugar solution & half distilled water and let sit for around 15 minutes before whisking and adding to cooled sugar mixture. Topped up with water filtered with carbon filter just over 5 gallon mark. Mixed with Mix-n-Stir and put the lid on loosly. I plan to aerate and degas for a few days until we leave for Asheville and then put the lid on and fill the airlock with vodka.

Transfer to Secondary - Add 2 TB Activated Carbon Powder mixed with 1/2 cup boiling water to fermenter and rack on top.

6/17/2021 - Kegged along with .5 oz Capalla Pineapple extract from Wizard Labs. Will taste after carbing and adjust as needed.
