Notes

Single infusion no sparge, coarser crush than usual.

Pitched at about 68 and chilled immediately to 65F. Had an electrical problem with my keezer and needed to work on it, so I didn't pay attention to actual fermenter temperature when I pitched the yeast. However, the chest fermenter tends to work pretty quickly, so it got it down to 65-66 within an hour.

I had to make a hop substitution when I realized I had no Citra for the 20 minute addition--I swapped for a small amount of Cascade, and a small amount of nugget at 40 minutes to bump the IBUs.

Preboil gravity was missed by 1 point, OG was missed by 2 points. Boil-off was a little bit higher than I expected, so I'm a little confused as to why my OG wasn't higher. It's possible I had a lower pre-boil volume than what my kettle markets lead me to believe (I etched myself and they may be slightly off).
