Notes

The recipe is based off an Aletoberfest from chop and brew. It turned out to be a bit of fridge cleaner beer as I used up some leftover hops and specialty grains. Fermented in a swamp cooler/well insulated bucket that kept temperatures low and stable started around 52F and slowly brought it up to 59-60 after 1 week in primary. After week 2 let it rise a little higher to low 60's. Am planning on lagering in secondary trying to get the temp down into the 40's for a couple of weeks. The 90 minute boil evaporated around 2.5/3 gallons, so I topped it off with 1 gallon of water at the end of boil.
