The Dupont Special was a Bavarian Hefe. The brew process went well except that I added too much water to the boil and ended up with a low gravity and had to add a couple growlers to hold the extra. Also did a cold break in the mash and if it affected much it seemed to be worse since the gravity was so low. I will hold off on the cold break for now. I adjusted the recipe for a 6gal batch and ended up with an expected OG of 1.036 and we ended with 1.030. I added a lb of honey to the primary and that should stabilize the gravity. It should have jumped about .006 to the grav putting our original gravity at 1.036. It was meant to be a very light beer anyways due to the projected customer for this brew.
FYI, I'm thinking of adding rendered bacon fat to a growler after its done fermenting and see how it adds to the beer. That will be an interesting experiment.
