(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Started with 6.5 gallons of wort. Got a pretty good boil going and boiled for only one hour...boiled off 1.5 gallons....meant to boil off only 1 so I would have 5.5 gal into fermentor. Added hops on schedule. Left aroma hops in for 20 minutes (time it took to cool to 70 deg). Took About 36 Hours To Start Fermenting. Got Home From Work Today (48 Hours After Pitching Yeast) And Fermentation Freezer Was At 77 Degrees (Vice 67). Trying To Fix Now. Hopefully I Don't Get Too Much Off Flavor. Primary Is Going To Town Though. Temp fluctuated quite a bit. Not certain why. I don't have a lot of experience with my fermentation freezer. Possibly overheated just due to fermentation itself? At any rate, while trying to cool it back down to 67, it overshot to 57. Finally stabilized at 67 last night. Transferred to secondary today (5 days in primary). SG 1.015. Kegged on 17Feb (10 days in secondary). SG 1.010. (6.5% ABV). Tastes great. Very hoppy. Will condition for a few weeks in keg at 67 deg. Tasted 2Mar. Bitter. Very dark with a brown head. Excellent taste. Moved to kegerator at 34 deg. Will be perfect in another 2 weeks. Started conditioning on 23Feb at 67 deg. tasted 2Mar and moved to kegerator at 34 deg.
