Brew Batch #156 Nonanal

It's not what you think, but definitely subliminal. Nonanal is one of the compounds that makes strawberry smell and taste like strawberry. Look it up, I cant make this stuff up. So with mimicry being the ultimate form of flattery, I'm trying to emulate SG's Strawberry Vanilla Truffle and maybe beta it for a local brewery. But with some new refrigeration and dispensing equipment in hand I gotta fill it up. So this is kind of batch 156 and 156.5 as it's a 10 gallon sour base. First 5 gallons gets 49 oz of strawberry puree and minimum 4oz white chocolate flavoring. Not sure if I'll dip some nibs cause that'll push the cost up if it's scaled up. The other 5 gallons may get Meyer lemon puree or kiwi and bananas? OG 1.042-0.001 @45F. Should make for a nice 5%er
