Updated Niagara Red Brew Session

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Updated recipe a bit. Brew day was smooth, mash temps stable at 150, and gravity a point heavy, volume right at 6 gallons into the fermenter. The wort was delicious, clear and dark red, look forward to trying this variation. Gravity reading today 03/24/22 is 1.008, it's done, now I'll let it clear a bit and then bottle. Sample tastes really nice, dry but with a nice malt backbone, a little crackery with the Vienna, some dark fruit from the dark crystal, quite nice. I'll bottle in a week or so once it's cleared a bit more. Bottled on 04/04/22, ended up with 57 bottles of very clear, nicely red beer, tastes nice, a bit of toast, dark fruit, and a dry finish. Happy with this, looking forward to trying this when it's carbed. This ended up about 6.6% ABV
