Notes

---

Ended up with a bit too much water... measured out via distilled water jugs. Left about half a gallon of wort behind because concerned i wouldn't fit in the brewpot. Should have added it in at the mid-boil point, because ended up a bit low in volume.

Chilled to 77, put in chest freezer at 34 degrees for a little bit, until temp came down to 65. Pitched 2 packets of Diamond Lager yeast and moved to water bath in basement at 63 degrees. 24 hours later there was 5 PSI on the spunding valve

1.010

Notes

---

At 1.010 for 3 days straight, no diacetyl tasted so went into the fridge

Notes

---

Gravity was stable, at 30 PSI at room temp so put in the fridge to start cold crashing

This is absolutely delicious and I should make it again. Perfect level of hop/malt balance
