Mash Notes
1g in each addition. Heated water to 165 to mash at 151F. Little high, wound up futzing when I should have left it. Mashed a bit lower.


Boil Notes
Pre-boil probably a little lower than recorded, added another .5 gallons or so of wort. Cooled *very* rapidly.


Fermentation Notes
Pitched 1L starter, kinda still active - gravity around 1.059-60. Pitched around 60F. Forgot to add nutrient, so boiled/added couple hours after pitching.
