Notes

increased mash temp to 151.

reduced IBUs due to higher attenuation from horni vs ophsaug. From 37 to 31? Same Schedule just slightly less hops.

reduced total grain bill due to higher brew efficency and Attenuation.

6/23- efficiency was high. reduce grain bill down next time. shoot for 5.8%
