Notes

First time using the Grainfather!
Used ph stabilizer in mash
Started at 6:30, was done at 11:30 (except cleaning)
Did not use hop filters/bags...a huge natural filtration formed around the pump filter after the whirlpool/hop stand. I would say 4oz is the max to use without a filter/bag...

Spent 1 week in the 62 degree storage unit...definitely fermented well, but slower. After 1 week, I transferred to a keg and dry hopped. Gravity was at 1.020, so had more to go! Fermented in keg pretty heavily as apt temp is around 72 degrees...should have used the corny keg lid with airlock hole in it. Kept purging, but keg is so full that it's a little messy.

Finished around 1012 when transferred to the kegerator. Dry hopped for 3 days.

VERY TASTY! Drinkable and great for summer. Maybe went a little heavy on the hops. Bready/Biscuity Golden Promise does help though to give it a backbone.
