Notes

Brewed a 2.5 gallon batch to test vs. a 2.5 gallon extract brew AND actual Kilt Lifter. Neither were exactly the same as the commercial product, but both were quite good. The all grain was a little too dark, so I've lightened up by going from Crystal- 90 to crystal-70.

Adjusting the mash temperature to 154f, to get a little sweeter brew and maybe a little more mouthfeel.

I'm also trying to hit the water profile, which may prove to be quite a challenge.
