Notes

Boil for 90 minutes to get some caramelization.
Rehydrate yeast in 5oz of water.
About 16% of this recipe is munich malt
Pitch yeast in half cup of 80 degree for 15 mins and leave alone, then gently stir for 15 until a cream is created.

Brewed on 06/27/15 with a full 5.75-6 gallons in the fermenter. I calculated about 7.25 on my dip stick, but after adding 4 lbs of extract it went up to 7.75, and thats why I did a late addition.
Gravity read 13.1 brix (1.051) Pitched at 66.

06/28/15: There is a TON of activity with some krausen getting pushed out. Everything looks good so far.

07/01/15: Changed temp from 66 to 68.
07/02/15: Took it out to room temp.

Kegged on 07/16/15:
Full 5 gallons. Might have sucked up a few oz of trub, but overall went ok.
Refractometer: 6.3brix (1.011 SeanTerrill) 5% Alcohol.

09/07/15: The beer has smoothed out a lot and it's quite nice. There is a strong buttery (not diacetyl) quality to the beer that I attribute to the munich malt. Overall my family likes it and I think it's good... but not great.
An all grain version will follow.
