General Info

Yeast is thought to be Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity. It was given to me by Jason Kruegel who got it from Kjell Wygant @ Rockyard. From several mason jars, I built a 3L starter.

Comments

The turbinado and clear candi sugars were added to primary after 5 days, so the OG of 1.078 is an estimate. The actual measured OG w/o the sugar was 1.066.

On day 5 (5/29/2015), the SG was 1.044. After adding the 3 lbs of candi and 1 lb of turbinado (dissolved in 0.5 gal of boiled water and cooled) the SG was 1.056.

Racked to secondary on 6/7/2015 --SG 1.010.

Kegged on 7/1/2015. FG 1.002.
