Notes

Changed this up a bit. Different ingredients and no dry hop. Moved dry hops to 0 minute and added more 60 min hop.
Also change boil to 60 mins and added changed grain bill. Essentially a totally different brew.


Day 11: Sg: 1012
Day 14: cold crashed
Day 22: kegged


Tasting notes after force carbing:
- taste good. Not very bitter. Bit of a malty flavor. Maybe a bit light but quite enjoyable.


Maybe a bit more bitter next time.
- did use hops from Joel's hop buy which could be questionable.
