Gourd Ale Brew Session

Brew Session Info

10/4/2021
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Pitched yeast on 10/4 but brewed on 10/3. I was not able to use the acidulated malt because it was infested with bugs so I used 2.1mL of lactic acid instead. 11/30 - Went to bottle today but dumped the beer due to oxidation. I thought I had been doing a good job keeping the air lock full but apparently not. I am really bummed since the beer wasn't heavily oxidized but enough to where I didn't want to mess with it. Oh well.
