(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

New Years Eve Brew session. Cold temps outside and a cold mash tun caused me to miss my Mash Temp. Added another gallon of 165 water to get it where I wanted it. Reduced Sparge volume to 4 gallons to compensate, but missed my starting gravity by a ew points as a result. Pitched Yeast at 79 degrees, but it will continue to chill down to around 72. Will move to secondary around Jan 10th.
