DOUGH-IN

Note | This was my attempt at fly sparging, next time I might try batch sparging (or re-mashing). Need to do more research.

BOIL
Collected vol. | 6.25gal.
Pre-boil gravity | 13.25
Note | Pre-boil at 7:15p 5lb of DME was added, bringing the volume up to 7gal. and the gravity to 21.25.

2nd (last) hop | 9:00p
