Notes

Did water adjustments to balanced and mash ph was 5.4 without adjustment. So nothing added.

Set HLT to 160. Then mashed in and set it to 152. Mash temp equalized at 149. Perfect.
Apparent issue with micro controller has caused no logging. Sucks cuz it seemed pretty good.

Hit my numbers. Made almost 12 gallons.

After 2 weeks it's at 1012. Cold crashed started.
Kinda a buttery taste to it. Diacetyl. Hmmm
Hope that disappears. We shall see. Could also be the centennial dry hops. Still very drinkable.
These comments are all from the sample jar.
