Notes

Added to little water on mash possibly. I added 1+ gallons prior to boil to make 5.5 for boil. Water was low and pre boil gravity was 1.080. Pre-boil gravity after addition was 1.055. OG post boil was 1.060 just over 5 gallons. pH was 5.38 without lactic acid. None was added.

Day 6 dry hop added. Day 10 transferred to Keg for cold crash. FG 1.012 = 6.3% ABV

Submitted to contest 32/50, 29/50. Thought vegetal flavor, soy sauce
