Notes

Steeped the grains at 155° for 25 minutes
After steeping I turned the heat back on. I didn’t wait for the boil but added the DME and LME. I then brought it to a boil and started the hop additions. After the boil I left the hops in the wort as it cooled for about 30 to 40 minutes. The wort was cooled to 68.4° then poured into the fermenter and spring water was added to bring the total to 5 Gal. I let the wort set for about 20 minutes then added the yeast and set it in the dining room. After one day the temp is about 65°

Fermentation started in about 36 hours and lasted an additional 72 hours

Added the Centennial hops on 2/19/24 after work..

Bottled 3/1/24
