Notes

Aiming for a simple, small batch brew with some spicy notes for fall.

Strike water at 156° with grains at 67°

Lowered water volumes, first run came out with close to 3 gallons and gravity was only 1.040

Second run, I used the peel of a larger orange which was too much. Make it about half the orange.

Also used more than a table spoon of ginger, also too much.

I upped the boil size to 2.5 gallons. This round I started with 2 gal and ended up just barely over a gallon at the end of the boil.
