Notes

Final Gravity 1.005 Because mine finished so dry it actually has a biter bite. Pulled some out and added lactose to it, which made it taste fairly good. So will pull about a cup and a half of the beer, then mix with lactose to add back into the beer. Will see what will happen. Right now it is just to damn dry for me which gives it a bitter bite. My yeast highly over attenuated. Not really to sure how to solve this problem.

Ended up just putting it in the keg and charging it to 12.50, which gives it 2.3 col, Came out tasting great.
