Notes

First attempt at high gravity brew.
Lucked out and found dry lager yeast at Muskedines.
BeerSmith article notes that high gravity beers require attention to:
-Water required vs mash tun capacity - check
-Yeast (osmotic) shock from high OG requires dry yeast to be hydrated with wort (preferably) before the pitch -
-High OG beers take much longer to ferment, like two months or more -
