Notes

Mashed in at about 170F which brought it to about 148 to 150 depending on the spot. I added in 1 pint of cold water which brought it to about 148. Stirred at 30min and 50min. Drew off about 2 gallons and brought to a short boil. I added it back in and this brought it to about 175F. Hope that wasn't too high. I didn't boil the mashout for very long because I want it to be highly fermentable (dunno if that actually matters).

The 566 is my yeast of choice for this style. Seems like a simple recipe, which is what it should be.

Hey, this was made before I started adjusting water chemistry. However, I lived in the eastern SD Bay Area which has pretty soft water which is ideal for making this brew.
