Berliner Weiss Brew Session

Brew Session Info

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Had difficulty hitting mash temp, 151 for first ten minutes, 153 for minutes 11-20, hit 156 for remainder of Sacc rest. Added a bit of boiled H20, altered mash thickness. Pitched Lacto starter for first innoculation without yeast. Was not able to keep the Lacto to temp, I think it stuck around 85 deg for 4 days before second boil. Aroma of Hallertau hops in boil was very different, but amazing. Earthy, slightly spicy. Wort smelled like sour Coors Light...
