Notes
21MAR2023: ADDED THE 12LB OF HONEY (EDS). HAD A LALVIN D-47 STARTER GOING FOR APPROX 30 MINUTES HYDRATING WITH 7G GOFERM AROUND 100F. FILLED THE REST OF THE CONTAINER WITH WATER AND ADDED 21G FERMAID O. TOPPED OFF THE BATCH WITH CHARCOAL FILTERED WATER LEAVING ENOUGH HEAD ROOM FOR FERMENTATION. MIXED THE BATCH WITH A POWER DRILL MIXING ATTACHMENT TO OXYGENATE THE BATCH AS WELL AND PITCHED THE YEAST STARTER INTO THE BATCH.
