Tasted on 1/7/2017 by LeeCase99

Notes:

Note: tasted on 12/31 when I racked it (1.026 mg) - I pitched a small amt. of british yeast - Nottingham, + dry hop 1/2 oz. Nugget...ANYway, tasted bready and hoppy then, less hoppy during 1/7 tasting. Grain seems to come through which is what I was shooting for...we shall see.
