Boiled in shop to avoid elements.OG was slightly low. Believe this was due to leaving too much wart in the boil kettle. As compared to the first time I brewed this beer, I made sure to bring the volume up to 5 gallons. Prior OG was 1.076 (too high) and now 1.060. Will result in a lower ABV and should result in a less "alcoholly" taste that the first batch had. Should be a better tasting brew.Transferred to secondary 9/28/16.

This is an extract brew kit from Northern Brewer (NB). NB 'warned' me that the ABV would be around 7%. They recommended a yeast starter or to double pitch. Being new, I have not done the yeast starter, so I opted to do the double pitch.I brewed this on a day where the temperature out side was 9 deg F. Grains were steeped in 2.5 gallons of water at 160F for 20 minutes. Rinsed grains with 1.5 gallons of water slowly.I had 1 boil over after I added the 3.15 lb LME and the second round of hops ...
