Notes

This is attempt 2

  • Attempt 1 used root shoot malt, but it was sold out.
  • Honey malt is left over as well as hallertau from the first two batches.
  • First ever beer trying out water chemistry, thought distilled would be easy. I haven't gotten my water tested and my dad plans on putting in a filter soon so there is no point in testing water until then.
  • I might try out a bottle or 2 priming with honey for shits and gigs.
  • I also ordered lactic acid for mash PH adjustment.
