Notes

No Sparge Method used. After 10 minutes of the 162 rest, strained 2.0 gallon thick decoction mash into side kettle and brought to boil. Ensured main mash stayed at 162 after grain removal. simmered the decoction about 30 mins.

Entered into 2023 NHC-Indy 1st Round. Placed 2nd. Advanced to finals in San Diego. Beer was a skosh too hoppy (aromatically) with a full ounce at flameout , but bitterness was perfect. Decreased flameout hops in this batch so as not to mask the malt aroma.

Brewed 55 days before planned bottling on 6/8. Shipping deadline for NHC is 6/14 and judging is on 6/21
