Mash Notes
hit target temp right on. 146. 90 minute mash.
forgot to add sugar and spices until the very end. hopefully dissolved ok. Hit numbers just fine, 1 point high.


Fermentation Notes
using slurry from Green Flash. Probably over pitching by quite a bit.

pitched at 77-79 degrees. a little hot, but it refuses to cool any more. will keep water bath over night and then let it ferment high.
