Notes

Improv brew day -- first nice day of the year!

Mashed in @ 163, target 148. Hit 145. Boiled the sparge and added another gallon. Didn't seem to raise the temp as much as I wanted, must have lost more heat than expected to the mash tun.

No starter -- WLP001 vial dated best by 3/6/15 --2 days ago.

Probably screwed up the IBU's. Did a 20 minute stand at flameout without cooling, intended this to be a Pale Ale and it's probably encroaching on IPA bitterness.

Will dry hop with ... to be continued.
