Brew Session Info

3/27/2015
(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Boil: I used 1.7 gallons as boil off and came up short ... need to bump this back up to 1.8 next batch. Fermentation 03/31/2015: Started dry hopping, new technique. I ground up the pellets into powder and will be adding 1/5 ounce each day for five days. 04/03/2015: Got impatient, added the last two hop additions on day 4. 04/03/2015: Moved to Fridge at EOD to cold crash. 04/07/2015: Transferred to keg. Was sick as a dog, so cold crashed longer then planned.
