Notes

Brewed - 5/8/2019

PB - 7 gallons 1.030 without honey addition 1.035 after honer addition
OG - 5.5 gallons 1.048
FG - 5 gallons into keg 1.005
ABV: 5.64%

I won a 55 lb bag of 2 row in the COTU wort share competition. When I made this beer my scale broke so I had to use the scale from our bathroom. It was a bit challenging and inaccurate which I believe was the cause for the low OG.

5/26/2019 - began dropping temp to 34 for cold crash
5/29/2019 - kegged and began forced carb in kegerator
