Notes

BATCH #1: Brewed on 3/30/15
Bottled on
For Boston Worts single-hop IPA experiment

PBG: 1.050
OG: 1.060
FG: 1.016 (Taken on day 6)
ABV: 5.78%

Used pure O2 for the first time, 60 seconds
Fermented @67F for 48 hrs, began rise over 4 days to 69F upon noticing slow-down
Dropped back to 67F on 4/5/15
