Notes

This is my second time doing this recipe, a slightly revised version at least.
I plan on adding 1lb. honey with 3/4 oz of steeped sage to one 5 gallon fermentor at racking, and dry hopping the other fermentor with 1 oz of galaxy after active fermentation in about 6 days for about 6 days.
7/16 ACTUAL OGs
Ferm 1 OG: 1.049 (honey) total vol. 5.75gals
Ferm 2 OG: 1.046 total vol. 5 gals.
Tasting notes to come.
