Notes

12/10/05 - Brew Day - added gypsum at start of boil, had a small boil-over when adding hops, cooled to 75 in 20 minutes, had about 6 gallons of beer
12/18/05 - Transfered to Secondary
1/1/06 - Kegged and Bottled - 6 x 22 oz bottles, 6 x 12oz bottles, Hooch Brews caps
1/13/06 - Tasted a bottle, good carbonation, bitter taste, almost grassy, a bit harsh, will try again in a month or so
? - never turned out very good, I ended up dumping most of the keg, finishing gravity too high
