Notes

Ensured main mash was 156 before pulling decoction. Beer was perfect from Day 40-60 then really seemed to dry out in the keg. Will consider slightly decreasing time at 146 and increasing time at 156 with this grist. Perhaps shift 15 mins of the time to 156

There was some room for more bitterness (as a few judges commented) but I think it is just about perfect. Normally use Magnum for bittering but I had some Liberty to use up this time.

Hershbrucker aromatics are great. Way better than Mittelfruh.
