| I only pulled about 4.5 gallons out of the mash. I added about 1 pound of DME + 1 gallon of water... |
| The fermentation took off really quick, and it was so warm, that it fermented in about a week! |
| Strong Hop Flavor. No Dry Hops. A slight Lactobacillus induced sour flavor from questionable racking cane!Maybe above was just hop bitterness? After aging a few months, it came out really clean and good tasting! |
| My Hydrometer was on the back of Leif's car when he drove it off...I haven't been able to get any readings!Racking cane of questionable cleaniness |
