Notes

stole the recipe from mad fermentationist... modified the hops

cherries were a mixture of tart and sweet totaling 8lb.

strike temp lower than anticipated. Mash began at 148. raised to 155 over 40 minutes and held at 155 for 30.

left with a lower OG than anticipated but have near 6 gallons worth after starting with roughly 10 gallons

11/23/16 FG 1.024 but still working when i added the cherries and chips
