Notes

Batch #1: Hit 1.049. Was half gallon short after boil so added water along with 3/4 cup of corn sugar. On mash added 1 and and a half quarts to account for dead space in mash tun. Not sure if it helped but was right on OG target. Also, initial temp was 158 but it evened out to 154 by end of mash. Not sure on color at this point. Might increase the pale 2-row by a pound to 9.5 next time. Added .25 oz citra pellets for last two days of second ferment
