I split this batch into two 6 Gallon carboys (approximately 4.5 gallons in each), into one I pitched:
Wyeast 1728 Scottish ale yeast &
into the other:
Wyeast 3725 Biere de Garde
I have a couple questions. When serving or entering if it comes out good what category would be most appropriate, or most descriptive?
I am contemplating dry hopping, but am hesitant until I get a good idea whether or not it needs it. I don't want to cover the malt up, and neither do I want to alter the Motueka hops taste and aroma, but if I did want to what would you suggest for the future?
I plan on fermenting both at 60-62 degrees wort temp in keezer with a controller. (Edit: Oops didn't see the Biere de Garde temp range was 70-84F, I'll change the location of carboy this evening)
