Used four cheesecloth bags holding about .5 oz of hops per bag. Will bottle next weekend. 7/9/16 - Bottling day!

COLD brew day. Temp in garage is 44 F. Had a good mash. Only issue was a slightly stuck sparge on the initial runnings. 1/11 - Added 8oz of Cacao nibs and 2 vanilla beans (scraped insides) into primary. Will let sit until Sat 1/23 when I bottle.

Great session. Only issue is that we ran out of propane at 15 minutes into the boil. We got a new tank and resumed the boil within 15 min.
