Brew date: 28-Apr2019
During the steeping grains the temp got up to about 175F ish (bc I forgot to monitor temp) so i removed flame and temp slowly dropped during the 20min to 150F ish
also, noticed lots of foam during the boil after adding the 20 and 2min hop additions (had to stir and regulate flame as to not boil over
OG: 1.062
lots of foam when added to ferment or from using the strainer so i didn’t airate to much.
Airlock bubbles started within the first 6hrs (temp was 70F) and went strong for about 1 day
Temp increased to about 72F on day 2 bubbling still going but slowed somewhat (bubble about every few seconds)
After about a week Temp settled around 66F and maintained for 3 weeks 4 days
Brought fermenter up from basement 1 day before bottling on 23-May, Temp 68-70F

Abv: 6.6%
Taste:
very bitter, not in a bad way though. It’s good but next time maybe minus the 60 min addition and add a dry hop to make it more juicy
