Notes

English hops are unsung heroes. We use them mostly in dark beers as the spicy/earthy characteristics offer up a subtle balance while letting the malt bill shine through.

The batch came up 10 liters short.
The OG is 10.52.

Need to figure out what's going on here.
Still running in the new 60L system

Aug. 29: Adjusted mash guidelines

Ferment at 13 degrees C for 2 weeks. Fermenters were shaken.

20 October: Responses to this beer have been very positive.
