(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

9/21: Made a yeast starter with 1 L of water (used Camden tablet) and 6 oz of Pale DME. 9/22: Brew day: Heated mash tun with a few gallons of water. Tun sat after draining for about 10 min. Outside temp 72F. Heated strike water to 158. Hit mash temp of 147 and added boiling water to bring to 148. Rested for 75 min. First runnings ended up with a smidge under 2 gallons. Lost a little due to valve accidentally being open. Heated 4 gallons of water to 170F for sparge. Added another .36 gal (3lb). Still not enough, so added another half gallon. Pre-boil volume slightly over 6.75 gal. Post-boil volume - 5 3/4 gallons at 1.046 gravity. Amount transferred to fermenter: 1 1/8 inch over 5 gallons. FG 1.004 Primed with 5 oz corn sugar in 1 cup of water. Perfect amount of carbonation.
