-----------------
Mashed from 152 down to 147 over the course of 90 minutes. Although beersmith says this will finish at 1.019, I expect for it to finish below 1.010 with the Brett.

I got this in the fermenter this weekend and I'm planning on letting it go a week or so before pitching the vial of Brett B. I'll keep everyone updated.
