Notes

This was my first all grain batch and decided to go big or go home. I realized a few things before I started. My lauter was definitely not large enough so I bought a bigger one and improvised.
I missed temperature on the Mash, hit 160+ and had too much volume to add cold water so I just went with it. I mashed out at 172.

I plan on main fermenter at least 2-3 weeks if not a month to a month and a half. Secondary will go as long as I can stand.

I don't want to be too pushy with this batch with the hop schedule as big as it is, I mean 4 oz at boil start, and another 7 at 10 minutes. Its a beast.
