Notes

step mash (104/146/156)
batch sparge - get water volumes right!
add D-45 with 5 minutes left in boil.
Ferment at basement temp around 62F. Let rise.
Revised since my brew; set efficiency to "kettle," and revised the mash thickness to 1.65 qt/lb. Also adjusted volumes to what they were. I ended up boiling this down to about 4.5 gallons to hit my previous OG, then overshot it and hit 1.077. Next time, add more base malt.
FG=1.014. 8.27%. Very mild out of fermentor. Might be a little roasty. Very mild phenols. Not too fruity. Maybe some fusels? Check again after bottle conditioning.
Add ferment temp schedule.
