Notes

Efficiency has been unusually low even with hitting correct mash temperatures, starting to suspect the malts from my home brew shop have low modification.
Batch efficiency = 52%

6.5 gallons pitched with house culture dreggs
5 gallons pitched with The Yeast Bay melange blend

NOTE: 25.75 lbs of grain absorbed slightly more than 3 gallons

NOTE: Abv = 7.2% -- beer will finish around 1.003 +/-.002
