Notes

Boiled 1st Runnings 30 minutes while sparging the second runnings.

1.4M c/mL/P or 729B yeast cells. 3L yeast starter w/ 13oz DME. 8 hrs on stir plate. Starter then sat 3 days at 60. Pitched decanted yeast.

FG:1.020. Primary Fermentation 27 Days around 60. Then kegged and aged around 38* in keezer. Force C02 & bottle-gunned around month #6

3rd in 2017 Indiana Brewers Cup (July 2017). Plan to enter again in 2018 Indiana Brewers Cup. It also won another award in 2017 but I honestly cannot recall the competition. It's basically the "SCOTTIE MACROCKETTS" recipe from Great Fermentations store (Courtesy of Nathan Compton) except I used Golden Promise instead of Maris Otter.

Edit 5/29/18. Bottles have been cellared 13 months and they keep getting better. I try one bottle every 3-4 months.
