A43 Loki Yeast (half of a pouch) - pitched at 95°. Allowed to free fall in 72° room.

Transfer oxygen free to keg.

A couple of notes so far...

OG at 1.069.

Fermentation was going and going well around 4hrs post yeast pitch.

At the 24hr mark I tested gravity. It was already at 1.020. So I added dry hop #1 to the fermentor.

6 hours later I tested gravity at 1.013.

I mashed at 158° with almost 30% flakes oats. Interesting to see what FG will be...

More to come...
