Notes

All crystal hops blonde ale. Using Imperial House/Wyeast 1098-not sure its going to be the right yeast?

Brew Day 7/8/18

1.048 OG
Smells, tastes good.
Mashed 150-152

Whirlpool hops from around 190 to 130 over about 30 min.

07/12/2018 Fermented at 65 f for 5 days. At 1.008. Very tasty right now. great citrusy profile with some light esters. Raising to 68 for D-rest/finish, then to crash to 34, dump yeast and carb.
