Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

With an OG of 1.050 and an FG of 1.017, we are down from a predicted 5.1% ABV to around 4.4% ABV, which is a BIG drop. Need to figure out a better steep, and need more oxygen in the wort, and better fermentation temp control.

Notes:

From fermenter. Nice clean, dry flavor. Slightly nutty (nice). On the light side, but not sweet, which is surprising given that the OG was low and the FG high.
