Notes

12/04/05 - steeped grains 150-170 degrees for 30 minutes, added Irish Moss and 3 tsp. last 15 min
12/18/05 - Kegged and Bottled - 12 x 12oz bottles, 6 x 22oz bottles, Blue Star caps
1/2/06 - Tasted - had little to no carbonation, flavor is much too sweet, hopefully it will taste better when kegged
1/13/06 - Tasted - more carbonated, no head, flavor is getting better, malty and toasted flavor, still overly sweet, I think it is because I steeped the grains too high
