Notes

This is the same Summer Ale as batch 10. sample of batch #10 lacked hop aroma.Must get to doing some dry hopping.Added goldings this time at flame out into top of B.K.without a muslin bag. Don't do this as it cloggs the system really bad!! Make sure you use a muslin bag or one of those hop balls to eliminate this in-convenience.
