2020 Zesty New England Pale Ale Brew Session

Brew Session Info

6/3/2017
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Brew session went well. Mash held at 153. Boil cooled to 77 before aerating and pitching. Moved to enclosed fridge set at 74. After 12 hours, no activity yet. Activity Started at 24 hours. Need to aerate better and use a yeast starter. After vigorous activity, dropped fermentation temp to 68 on day two. Added orange zest and dry hops to primary on day 8 after fermentation slowed to 15 seconds. Left in primary to avoid racking issues. Day 14, started transfer to the keg but realized that it may need a little more settling so transferred to carboy and back into the ice box at 68.
