Notes

Mash at 153 for 60 minutes. Ferment at 68 increasing temp as ferment ends.
** still dialing in my system, had 6 gallons instead of 5.5 at end of boil. Lowered my efficiency.

Reminder to self, use only 4oz spruce tips next time. Over time the strong spruce flavor subsided into a more melon type flavor. It wasn't too bad. Will make again.
