6/2/2021 1:13 PM over 3 years ago	+0	Brew Day Complete	1.039	2.75 Gallons		70 °F	3/12/2022 3:30 PM over 2 years ago	Brew day went smoothly, with plenty of time to sit around and hang with Adam and Lucy. I used 'Climax' spring water, purchased from Good Foods to try finding a clean tasting water I can source consistently - it tasted clean on its own, but we'll see how the beer comes out. I reduced the starting boil volume by about a half quart to aim for a more concentrated wort // higher efficiency, and landed within a couple points of my expected FG.

I'll crank up the lemon a little for the second batch to see if I like it better that way.
