Brew Session Info

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

trying brew in bag - mash in blue cooler, heat sparge water in boil kettle (3 gal) to about 175 pull bag from cooler let sit in kettle for 10 mins, then drain into separate pan, add cooler wort to kettle and raise to boil, about 5 gal total before boil (perhaps a bit much - overestimated loss associated with grain absorption) 0.5 oz Centennial after 10 mins (extra sitting around) hop stand for 40 mins once cooled to 180 OG 1.065, though volume seems short, perhaps 2.5 gal at most - boiling much more vigorous than past brews. 16Aug2016 - to secondary - just slightly less than 2.0 gal @ 1.013 gravity. I think I smell that acetone a bit, though not as strong as last time, yet. Taste a bit off as well. Might be the yeast (which was harvested from the Vermont Ale yeast used for the Heady Topper clone). Bummer
