Notes

Crystal was home roasted using Maris Otter.

First run with Corona mill. Efficiency into boiler ~77%, Did not boil down enough, so ended up with 11 gallons into fermentor.

Split yeast: 5.5 gallons in WL004 (Irish Ale) and 5.5 gallons in Wyeast #1056 (American Ale).

Irish Ale yeast much tastier/sweeter. #1056 seemed more bland. Renamed Mick's Amber Ale.
