Notes

Really happy with how this one turned out. About 6.5% ABV. The honey adds a nice finish that I will definitely add to other recipes.

Went two weeks in primary using an Anvil conical fermentor at room temp of between 55 and 60 degrees F. Yeast finally finished up so I transferred it to a glass carboy for secondary. Let settle for another 2 weeks.

Worth the wait

Gravity stalled at about 1.02. Will reduce boil temp from 160 to 155 and Reduce flaked corn from 2 lbs down to 1 lb (6.7%) to see if that lightens thing up. Very drinkable brew but will keep tinkering until I get it right.
