Notes

The beer tastes like an albier brewed with mostly English ingredients. I'd use a hybrid pitching rate, ferment cold, ramp up for a diacetyl rest, then rack to a secondary, and age like a kolsch. Targeted Düsseldorf water profile. Mash temp held nicely. I had to leave during the mash to get hops for HSA. We oversparged so I boiled for 75 mins. May or may not have treated all the water with a Camden tablet. Pitched crashed yeast from starter. Open fermented in Andy's basement. FG was on target. Samples tasted great. Racked to keg 11/5/15. Set aside one bottle for Juli. Primed wth 1TSP of sugar.
