| Mash Notes |
| 3g cc, took sparge water down to ph6. Really mixed in kettle after added 2nd runnings to get the most accurate reading possible, given what's been happening. Sent support a question on the efficiency thing. |
| Boil Notes |
| Took bagged Columbus out at end, before adding leaf hops for a 15 minute whirlpool and short rest. |
| Fermentation Notes |
| Wort had a very hoppy taste, bitter/dank but also a bit spicey. Good amount of sweetness. Will the spiceyness come through post-ferm? Pitched at 76F, aerated 30min post pitch (dry yeast). Fermented 64F non-taped. |

| September 29, 2012 - took a long time to age into something really good. Bringing the carb down helped too. |
