Notes

Mashed one hour at 147F, 1/2 hr at 155F
Added too much sparge water, diluted wort. Probably could have gotten a couple more gravity points out of it.

Primary 9 days, racked onto 3 oz. of Glacier.
{proposed}cold crash 6 days into dry hop for ~ 5 days.
The beer was down to the 1.014 at the 9 day mark,tasted great(IMHO),but VERY cloudy. I'm hoping the cold crash, along with some bio-fine, will do the trick. Will edit when the beer is finished. If it sucks, I'll remove this.
