(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Used 3.5 gallons Albertson's drinking water. Says it is RO. Steeped the crystal grains until water temp hit 170 degrees. Added first charge of hops at around 180 degrees (FWH). Started 15 minute timer right after hot break. bucket swamp cooler kept external temp 62-64 degrees. Slight krausen into the air lock. Thinking about dry hopping. .5 oz Columbus Dry hopped with 1 oz Columbus (5/30/15) ambient temp. Slightly warmer temps in the garage 70ish. Finally some hoppy aroma coming from the air lock (6/1/15). Warmer dry hop temps?

Notes:

2 days in keg. First sample (24 hours in keg) was good. Hops were harsh. Moved the keg to a cooler full of ice for the party. Sample after move was yeasty/soapy tasting. On ice for 24 hours pulled sample - very tasty. Hops have mellowed. Still not very clear...
