Notes

OG actually come out at 1.070 after topping fermenter to 2.5 gallons, and FG ended at 1.010

Rehydrate irish moss in cool water 15 min before adding.

I used Lallemand Nottingham, fermented vigorously at 64 for 3 days, then it dropped like a brick. Raised temp to 71 for diacetyl rest for 2 days.

Prime, bottle condition for 2 weeks then cold crash.
