Fermenting Notes
Primary
Did not use temperature control
8.21.2016 – 1.020 @ 68F – Racked to secondary. Ferment took a few days to cool, then switched to the heat cycle. Some krausen on top, lemon material? Tastes much lighter that 1.020. Color is pale straw, very light aroma. Citrus, but possibly only because I know it’s there. Not much malt backbone. Bitterness tastes like it comes from lemon pith. Astringency in finish, lingering citrus. In general nothing that stands out, would need more lemon. Will sit in secondary for 10 days, then dry hop for 3 with .5oz Citra

Tasting Notes
No further notes in book, but beer turned out very well. Emptied keg fairly quickly and will brew another batch. Worth doing again.
