    A hybrid of ale and lager characteristics. This strain develops excellent maltiness with subdued fruitiness, and a crisp finish. Ferments well at moderate temperatures.

Notes

Will perform step-mash or decoc. fermentation tempatures will be around 51-56 deg. F due to current living conditions, hope that fermentation will go well. Isinglass will more then likely be used during bottling, bottle temp will be stepped down from 51-56 deg to around 40-45 deg over 1 week period.

The sweet wort had good color and taste. Unfortunately suffered chatostrophic wort chiller failure and extremely hot wort eneded up on very cold fermenter you can guess the sad outcome of that event...
