Notes

Yeast Starter: 1 cup DME, pinch of yeast nutrient, and 1000mL of water. Next time use 3/4 cup DME for lower gravity starter. When making yeast starter, I shook the White Labs vile up before pouring into starter. This caused the yeast to explode out of the tube when opened and gushed everywhere. Half of the yeast was lost and not added to the starter. Fermenting after 24 hours at 68F sitting on beach towel in closet and wrapped in towel. Airerated wort by using strainer over funnel into carboy, this caused bubbles to foam up while racking. Use Ferm cap S next time before racking.
Bottled on 1/12/15 FG 1.010 = 3.93% ABV

5-gal Big Mouth Carboy Volume
Krausen line was at kink where big mouth starts transitioning to neck. This yielded 4.3 gal @ bottling
4.3 gal filled (13) 22oz and (18) 12 oz bottles
