Notes

"Brew" Day - Heated 2 gallons of carbon-filtered water & 4lbs of dextrose (corn sugar) to a boil. Boiled for 5 minutes, turned off the heat and added 2 tsp DAP yeast nutrient, 1 TB 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 carbon-filtered water to reach 5 gallons & added yeast. Mixed and aerated with mix-n-stir for a couple mintes. Set the lid on top with airlock, but don't seal yet. Aerate the seltzer once or twice a day for the first 5-6 days of fermentation to help things get started and degas. After that, seal the lid and fill the airlock with alcohol.

Yeast = Saved Voss Kveik from Julian

8/17/2021 - Transfer to Secondary - Add 2 TB Activated Carbon Powder to fermenter and racked on top. I used the mix-n-stir to degas and mix in the carbon, so hopefully this works and saves me the step of boiling some water and dissolving the carbon in that. The aroma and flavor of this batch was VERY neutral! I didn't get any of the meaty notes of the previous batch or any sulfur or estery notes from the yeast. Hopefully the carbon will fully clean this up and I won't need to filter through the carbon filter form keg to keg.
