Notes

Boil 1 gallon of the first running during the period of sparge to provide some caramel notes.

Changed the hop schedule just to see the effects on flavor and aroma.

After fermentation cold condition for 3 days and then add gelatin (1 tsp with 1 cup 150 degree water).

I may bottle this for summer drinking.
