Killed flame, added extract, and mixed. Temp down to 180F. Added whirlpool hops and let stand covered for 20 min. Added 1 gallon jug of ice to cool. Overshot and cooled to 70s so heated back up to ~90F for transfer to fermenter.

Interesting flavor, fairly hoppy. There is a strange woody, toasty, nutty flavor that I'm not a huge fan of in this beer. Could be from the brown malt. Perhaps from the yeast?

6/19/2019 11:54 AM over 4 years ago	+18	Tasting Note				2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	Blech. Not a fan of this beer. That weird woody, grainy, nutty-ish, flavor is very prominent. That mixed with almost a sourish flavor maybe from interaction from yeast flavor, hops, and malt makes for a bad taste. There was definite hop sludge in my sample though so I'll give it time to condition. Thinking back, the wort sample on brew day did not have this flavor. I remember it being gloriously hoppy and clean tasting. This would implicate the yeast as the possible culprit. I'll brew another beer with this yeast and make a decision then.
7/2/2019 1:05 AM over 4 years ago	+31	Other				2/20/2021 3:43 AM over 3 years ago	Dumped the rest T_T. Flavor wasn't getting any less mushroomy. Brewed a 1 liter raw ale with same yeast and had the same flavor so I'm guessing it's a yeast thing. Won't be using it again. Wouldn't mind trying Hothead, but Hornindal is not for me.
