Notes

Hit my target mash temp and efficiency on the button. Left out the mashout again to see if it would make a difference. Ended up with a lower than expected OG when going into the fermenter but will still be above 8 which is pretty solid. The sugar was muscovado. Fermentation ended a little sooner than expected so I am going to pitch a starter of Dry English Ale to get a little more attenuation. Stalled out at 1.026 and want to get it down to about 1.018.
