Notes

Started fermentation at 64 deg. for 7 days than put in ice bath for 2 weeks at 50 deg. sat for another week at 64 deg.
bottled on 7-22-15 very pale color, no hop aroma and taste is low on bitterness slight corn mixed with malt flavor should be pretty good when it carbonates.
I think I would go with full ounce of 60 min. boil hops and some dry hops for aroma next time
