Notes

Brew day: 10/4/2020

Target Mash at 154 degrees for 60 minutes.
On this brew I had a higher strike temp and hit 156-158 while cooling it down for 5-10 minutes until I got to 154.

60 minute boil.
Pre boil gravity: 1.029
Target Original Gravity: 1.036
Actual Original Gravity: 1.038

I expected 65% efficiency and got 68% on this brew.

I did a no sparge full volume of water during mash.

Pitched onto a yeast cake of M-15 Empire Ale that I bottle beer off of same day.
