Notes

Kegged 3/12 - sample tasted great. Quick carbing.
3/14 Winner winner chicken dinner. Not much head, needs more carbonation. Dry as expected, great flavor, and despite the honey taking up part of the fermentables it still ended up in style and doesn't lack in anything. Nice crisp lawnmower beer. Prob add a tad of wheat next time for more head.
3/16 Increased the carbonation. The head problem is fixed, it now is nice and fluffy white. Persists pretty well.
