Notes

1/1/13 – Happy New Years! Today was by far the coldest brew day I have had for a while. I think the high today in Bend was 25 degrees and it was 16 degrees when I started brewing. This made it a little difficult to be dead-on my mash temp of 156 degrees, but I was able to stay within 1-2 degrees for the entire 60 min mash. Otherwise the brew day went very smoothly and I hit my anticipated OG and volume dead-on. WIth 8 different malts used in this brew it should be a smooth and tasty winter warmer. My brew partner Roxie was a big help today in cleaning up spilled wort and spent grains.
