Notes

>>>BATCH 1<<<
4-28-13: OG 1.063.
5-22-13: Longest fermentation since I started brewing. 3 weeks solid. FG is 1.008. So, ABV 7.2%
>>>BATCH 2<<<
8-25-13: 71% BHE. OG: 1.06 @ 5 gallons. Going to rack onto peaches. I boiled for about 15min before starting the 1hr timer. For some stupid reason. Now I'm exactly at 5gal with 1lt starter added. Note to self: If you have about 6 gallons at flameout, that's GOOD.
