Notes:

———

Not a great brew day. After I dropped the hops in after I saw signs of a boil, I dropped the 60 minute hops in. So guess what. I hopped at 90 minutes. Oh well, followed the rest of the hop schedule in the recipe.

Pitched yeast sludge January 18th at 44 degrees.

January 20th fermentation chamber was at 55 degrees. Changed heat to cold and turned freezer back on and put to 48 degrees.
