Notes

Note, this is only my second beer, proceed with caution if using this recipie.

Steep speciality grains from 150-160F for 20 minutes.
Remove grain bag, start the boil.
After 15 minutes, add Mt. Hood Hops
After 50 minutes, add late addition fermentables.
After 55 minutes, add the Haltertrau hops for the final 5 minutes of the boil
Whirlpool Aroma hops and spices for 15 minutes using a sanitized metal spoon. Remove from wort before chilling.
Cool the wort with an ice bath and top off with water in the fermenter.
Pitch your yeast.

I bet my OG will be closer to: ~1.096

OG 10/07/22: 1.096
Gravity 10/21/22: 1.030 | 8.66% ABV 67% Attenuation
Gravity 10/30/22" 1.020 | 9.98% ABV 78% Attenuation

Closet it was kept in was cold, moving to a warmer location.

Moving to basement 10/30 until 2 weeks before Christmas.
