First brew at the cabin: Using medium-high hardness well water.
Too much water in mash, so mash temp was very high (158-160F to start).
Cooled wort to ~75F and pitched yeast (without starter).
Produced 5.5 gallons of wort @ 1.046.
Fermented in room between 60 and 70F for 4 weeks.
Final (corrected refractometer) gravity: 1.012 (4.5% abv)
Carbonated with 70g sucrose.
