Notes

Brew Day: Saturday, September 30, 2017

Using Simcoe because that's what I have.
Soaked 1.5 oz of fresh mint leaves in vodka.

Strike water temp: 162F
Mash start temp: 154F
OG: 1.060
FG: 1.012
ABV: 6.3%
10/24: Rack to secondary. Nibs and mint in Secondary.
10/30: Add gelatin, and cold crash.
11/2: Bottled

Comments: This beer turned out great. I honestly didn't think I'd like it much. I thought it would come out tasting like mouthwash with the mint, but I used the right amount. The mint was very subtle, mostly in the nose. I enjoyed experimenting with this and will consider making it again.
