Lime Wheat Brew Session

Brew Session Info

7/13/2019
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Mash temps came in a bit high, but were stable 150.8 at the start and 150.6 at the end, was shooting for 149 but I overshot. Ended up with right at 6 gallons of 1.054 wort in the fermenter, looks great, light straw color, has a nice lime flavor and I pic up the sorachi ace hops that I used late for flavor and aroma. I'll kick off fermentation at around 64 and the bring up to 68 over the course of a few days. I'll add the limeade around day 3 of fermentation. Bottled this today, hoping it'll be carbed well enough by 8/2/19 for a fishing trip with some buddies. Light straw, hazy, with nice lime taste and zest bitterness. Looking forward to tasting when carbed. 61 bottles of beer from this batch.
