Notes

Started fermentation at 66 deg. F. Holding there for first 3-days.

Really messed up the hop addition, should have given 10% more not 5-1 vs. pellet hops. Live and Learn...., but the whole leaf hops must not have imparted much of the oils, the beer is fine, and actually not bitter. (I've adjusted the recipe to be more inline with what should have been used for the hop additions)

Crash chilled after adding gelatin to drop out more solids, but this beer is still hazy, which is great, beautiful color as well. Overall, very nice, and the firm level fermentation seems to work. I've got a little fruit taste (banana), and spicy notes.
