house of wren bitter Brew Session

9/19 148F 4.80 HLT pH 5.18/1.076 first 5.33 2nd 5.55/1.012 final 5.25/1.041 pre *5mL H3PO4@EOB 1.047 O.G., 5.18 post-boil. KO'd@75F Easy brew day, after almost 2 months of not brewing. Efficiency was 73%, I'm guessing in part due to the GNO, which I ran through the mill twice. I doubt all the grain was crushed. Anyhow. Set temp controller to 70F. 10/14--Burnt golden orange color. Aromas of orange honey glaze, with a raw hop note. Chewy mandelbrot and granola on the palate, the watered down last sip of an old-fashioned. Not short on complexity, but incredibly drinkable.
