session1
Brewing first time
Happy New Year - Don't Die!
First brew of this recipe - at night, hey its nice out...and I was probably smashed anyway..... I recall using 5.2 mash stabilizer in this one.... I added 1 TBS to water and I think it was way too much.....(maybe 1 tsp and direct to full mashtun only)
Didnt hit OG (1040 ish?) . This beer was OK, but it leaked out of the keg and was turning sour a bit anyway.....
