Notes

Aiming for a lightly sweet low/mid-range IBU with tasting notes of orange.

6 Gallons of water with minimal work yielded exactly 5.5 gallons of liquor.
.5 gallons added after boil.

1/2 a whirflock tablet crushed was added at 5 min to end of the boil.

Yeast pitched next morning since not cooling.
Active fermentation stopped at +5
Dry-hopped +7 days from pitching
Racked +15 days = yeilding 4.25 gallons of beer after racking.

Kegged on +17 days from pitching
