*********

First Brew -
Mashed low. Finish temp 143
Beer is dry, little sweetness or malty characteristics. I should have mashed higher.

OG 1.074
FG 1.013
ABV 8.01%

Pretty solid base recipe, would still mash higher
Over carbonated this one at 3x30, watch closely next time

Split batch to make a Winter Warmer (excellent winter warmer)

  • Add to secondary for ~4 days
  • On transfer be careful not to pull in Molasses and Honey on bottom
  • NEEDS clarifying agent in keg
