Notes

This batch to be brewed by Brew In A Bag (BIAB) method. After flameout allow ~20 minutes for a hop stand while stirring the kettle for whirlpool.

After a few BIAB brews I learned that the method causes low fermentability issues due to the thin mash. Since this brew I have added a oxygenation system to my brew gear to ensure quick, strong, fermentation. I also dialed in the temperature controller on my fermentation chamber.

This brew turned out good, very bitter in a good way, but would improve by using the traditional mash and sparge method and by reducing the amount of dry hops to help with clarity.
