Notes

Batch notes:
-Dry hop after fermentation for 2 weeks, 3 onces cascade whole
-Burton Salts 30g - modify target water

  • 3 bags yeast (Calm fermentation?)
  • OG 1.066 - EXACTLY ON POINT
    -Wort flavor excessively bitter (minerals?)
    -increase adjust boil size

    Beer notes:
    Bitterness could be increased (low AA content?)
    Very nice juicy grapefruit aroma
    Cloudy gives it a nice apperance
    Creamy head and silky texture
    Very tropical feel; bright orange color, zesty flavor, creamy texture. Could benefit from a zest addition in secondary and/or nelson sauvin.
