Did everything per recipe, but calculated wrong and ended up one gallon short. Added a half gallon of fresh water at the end of boil. 9/2 There was a burn spot on the boil pan on brew day, so did a small tasting after a week. No burned flavor. Notes of citrus and cooling mouthfeel. 9/10 moved to secondary. Added 15oz of bing cherries that had been pitted, frozen, and then steamed up to 160F. Since I was so short on liquid, I also added 12oz of Old Orchard 100% apple juice concentrate and ...

Used artesian water from Westfield. Substitued one pound of 2-Row Pale in place of one pound of Maris Otter. Used leftover Viking light chocolate malt from April. The protein rest went in at 133F and held 128F for 20 minutes. Sacc rest went in at 173F and started at 148 F and ended at 142 F after 60 minutes. Sparge went in at 182 F and held 174 F for 10 minutes. Broke my test jar so couldn't take OG reading.

Chilled and in fermented around noon. Bottled 7/15. Got 20 12oz bottles. Tasted OK for flat beer. The honeydew of the hops was really up front.

Only used 1.5 gallons sparge water because my boil pan was too small. SG was light so added 10 priming tablets and a 1/4 of maple syrup. Also needed to add abou 1/2 gallon of water to get to 2.5 gallons of wort. Moved into secondary on 4/16 due to the amount of yeast in the primary. Tasted during transfer, very good. Got 18 12oz bottles on 4/23. Color and taste are very good. Taste is impressive for a flat beer.
