Notes:

Finished at 1.007. Didn't get to rack this into a keg before fermentation ended. Real high attenuation. Between attenuation, and over-shooting target OG, ended up being a pretty unbalanced beer. Drank a bit more like a big, hoppy helles than a German pils. Would've needed a solid 10 IBU more just to achieve a balance.
