Notes
5/31/2023 - Brew Day - Boil for 30 minutes without any hop additions & chill to 100 degrees. Pour in 5 capsuls of Lacto Plantarum and continue chilling to 85 degrees. Transferred to All Rounder and will let that work for 36-48 hours before adding hops & pitching yeast.
6/2/2023 - Added 1oz Citra hops and two saved containers of Lunar Crush (small amount in each, so basically the same size as a normal saved yeast bottle). Aerated with the mix-n-stir after adding the yeast.
6/3/2023 - I wasn't noticing much activity, so I decided to aerate the beer and add some saved Verdant IPA yeast as well.
6/4/2023 - I accidently had the spunding valve cranked too tight, and this beer ended up getting up to around 25 PSI probably before I vented it.
6/15/2023 - Kegged - Split batch between two 3-gallon fermenters. Half got 2oz Amoretti Black Cherry concentrate along with 1 TB vanilla extract, and the other one got 2 cups mango puree from the ABL raffle and 1 TB vanilla extract. I added 1/4 tsp k-meta and 1TB potassium sorbate to each keg before adding flavorings & racking.
