over 4 years ago 		Volume is after I took out the hop bags and pressed them against the side with the spoon to get as much wort out as I could. This took a while as this recipe had a lot of hop bags.

over 4 years ago 		Couldn't figure out why the wort wouldn't cool down! Ahg! The house water was 70+ degrees! Had to scramble and get a cooler and ice water with a sump pump set up to cool the wort down. <Update> (2) 2L bottles frozen swapped out in the morning and evening seems to be doing the job. The cooler is in the garage with temps here in the mid to upper 90's.

over 4 years ago 		4 oz Amarillo (pellet) for 4 days. Yeah, I cheated I didn't use the leaf hops in the fermenter. I used 4oz of Amarillo pellet hops. Way easier, just rip and dump. I couldn't figure out how to get the bags with leaf to sink & didn't want the leaf hops soaking up all the wort. I didn't have any marbles or anything cool like that that would be easy to sanitize. I didn't really plan very well on that. I was tempted to just dump them in loose but I knew I'd regret that when I wanted to rack to the kegs. So I also shook the fermenter to mix the wort and majorly messed up the tilt. Give it a bit and it should settle in.

over 4 years ago 		Smooth and uneventful transfer of beer to kegs. Hotter than h--- in the garage. Got the fermenter and accessories all cleaned up and ready for next time.
