Notes

Grain bill is stupid because I'm getting rid of my old stock and padding it with new stock. Adding zest from 2 limes during the hop stand. The 5oz+ of hops is totally unnecessary, but the Cascade, Mistral, and Lemondrop trio should provide some citrus and floral notes while not overpowering the other lighter flavors. Using Lutra in place of 34/70 due to the warm weather.
