Notes

5/2/2019 - Brew Day. I seemed to get super high mash efficiency out of this batch due to the lower amount of grain, but that's a happy accident. Pitched yeast and put in basement to ferment cool in the low to mid 60's.
5/21/2019 - Kegged - FG=1.005. Lower FG than I was anticipating, but I believe I mashed a little lower on this one. May also need to adjust my brewing thermometer. The bitterness was stronger than anticipated due to the Belma whirlpoo, so I decided to add 1oz of peach extract that I had leftover. Hopefully that will give the impression of a little more sweetness.
6/11/2019 - Finished batch. The hops started getting a little bitter in the bag. Also, the hop bag in the keg seemed to cause ice to form and clog up the dip tube, so I ended up dumping a gallong or so of slushy beer.
