Brew Notes

Followed the recipe pretty much to the letter. I made a 1200 ml yeast starter on a 24 hour stir plate using the White Labs WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale yeast and a can of Fast Pitch Canned Wort. As I was chilling with my wort chiller I noticed I had forgotten to add the DME (I was trying to do too many things at once), so I heated a gallon of water and added the DME. I continued cooling the original wort and once it was the DME was boiling I added it to the existing wort and finished chilling it. I undershot my OG a little and came out just a tad high.
