Notes

---------------2.2.22------------------------
Mk V. Switching back to 3470 yeast and switching grains to Pilsner instead of the WBM Pale.

---------------12.20.21------------------------
Mk IV. Trying Bootleg's lager yeast and only Hattertau for fun.

---------------11.17.21------------------------
Mk III. 1oz of Mt. Hood for Bittering, 1oz of Hallertau due to stock at Brew Shop. 34/70 yeast

---------------10.25.21------------------------
Mk III. Switched Pilsen to Pale Malts

---------------10.4..21------------------------
Mk III. Updated the hop additions from .5oz Mt Hood @ 60 and .5oz Mt. Hood @ 10 to 1oz of Hallertau @ 60 and another 1oz at 10. Also adjusted the yeast to be 3470.

---------------8.30.21------------------------
Mk II. Not unhappy with the results but definitely way lighter in taste than expected. Looking to crank up the IBUs to 30-40 next time.

---------------7.11.21------------------------
Mk II. Updated recipe to be similar to what I used in the Colonel Mustard. Pilsen, Flaked Rice, and Mt. Hood.

---------------------------------------------------
Mk 1. Just realized Hallertau and Hallertau Blanc are two separate strains. Wanted just Hallertau, but used Blanc instead.
